'Princess' is a romance novel written by M. G. McClelland. It tells the story of a family who had to move to a rural American farm in Virginia after living in New York City. The young ladies of the family, Norma and Blanche, rose as one woman?loud in denunciation, vehement in protest?fell upon the scheme, and verbally sought to annihilate it. The country! A farm! The South! The idea was untenable, monstrous. Before their outraged vision floated pictures whereof the foreground was hideous with cows, and snakes, and beetles; the middle distance lurid with discomfort, cornbread, and tri-weekly mails; the background lowering with solitude, ennui, and servants.
