Latter-Day Sweethearts by Burton Mrs. Harrison is a romance novel that narrates an ocean travel
experience. Constance Cary Harrison (1843 - 1920) also referred to as Mrs. Burton Harrison
was an American playwright and novelist. She and two of her cousins were known as the Cary
Invincibles the three sewed the first examples of the Confederate Battle Flag. Excerpt: In
going aboard the Baltic that exceptionally fine October morning Miss Carstairs convinced
herself that of the people assembled to see her off no one could reasonably discern in her
movement the suggestion of a retreat. The commonplace of a sailing for the other side would not
indeed have met with the recognition of any attendance at the pier among her set save for her
hint that she might remain abroad a year. There had been a small rally on the part of a few
friends who had chanced to meet at a dinner overnight to go down to the White Star docks and
say good-by to Helen Carstairs.
