The Madigans
Miriam Michelson (1870-1942) was an American author. Her works include: In the Bishop's Carriage (1904), The Madigans (1904), A Yellow Journalist (1905), Anthony Overman (1906), Michael Thwaite's Wife (1909), The Awakening of Zojas (1910), Petticoat King (1929) and The Wonderlode of Silver and Gold (1934). "Sissy, who had been sitting writing only half dressed, folded the paper reverently, put it to her lips for lack of a seal, and then buttoned it firmly inside her corset waist. She felt so virtuous already that the carrying out of her intentions seemed really supererogatory. When she went to Irene to have her button her dress in the back, she had such a sensation of holiness, such a consciousness of a forbearing, pure, and gentle spirit, that her sister's malicious pretense of ignoring her presence appeared to her nothing less than sacrilege."

Not a fun story
It was a real dumb story. The charters were vain. The plot for the story was disjointed. At the end it falls flat.
