Question

character sketch of Mrs. Otis

Answer 1

Mrs. Otis

Mrs. Otis, who, as Miss Lucretia R. Tappan, of West 53d Street, had been a celebrated New York belle. She was now a very handsome, middle-aged woman, with fine eyes, and a superb profile.  She was not snobbish at all and carried her cheerfulness wherever she went. She had a magnificent constitution, and a really wonderful amount of animal spirits. Indeed, in many respects, she was quite English, except, of course, language. She spoke English with flawless American accent. She loved her family very dearly. When Virginia her daughter disappeared mysteriously from the Chase, she was exceedingly worried; similarly she was ecstatic on her sudden return. She like the rest of the Otis family was not afraid of the ghost at all. Rather she was intrigued to know him.
