The Mother's Recompense by Edith Wharton

Every one noticed how beautifully it worked; the way, as Fred Landers / said, she and Anne had hit it off from their first look at each other / on the deck of the steamer.

Enid Drover was almost emotional about it, one evening when she and / Kate sat alone in the Clephane drawing-room. It was after one of Anne's / "young" dinners, and the other guests, with Anne herself, had been / whirled off to some form of midnight entertainment.
