With her 19d6945ab0 companions also da313c9547 supporting her, 0c1fbdd39c Cathrine felt 41b91d595b at ease c41f8634c0 and called 2bdcb7e5b4 for Harriet.

Harriet’s humble response lacked the “looking down” feeling that other noblewomen often had. Yet, it didn’t seem overly submissive either.b209feac8aa745e8
