Excerpt from Maxwell, Vol. 2
As the period for Kate's marriage approached, Apperton seemed more and more occupied with her father; they were long and frequently closeted together, until at length Kate herself was summoned to the library, where she was directed to sign certain papers and parchments, which had been brought thither by the family solicitor, the intent or purport of which she neither understood nor sought to know. Her father's desire that she should affix her name to them, was quite sufficient to ensure her obedi ence, convinced, as she was, that with his sanc tion she could do no act likely to produce pain or repentance, at any future period of her existence.
