Mother Smith
Mrs. Ogilvie is a well-to-do neighbor who invites Lucille and Mattie to tea. She and Lucille seem to know one another from Lucille’s wealthier upbringing. She speaks disdainfully of the city’s poor and refugees whose illness has caused her gala ball to be canceled. She also looks down on “tradespeople” like the Cooks.

“The only people left in Philadelphia seem to be shopkeepers and wharf rats. Robert has an appointment with the mayor this very day to insist that he put an end to the rumors of yellow fever.”

“Don’t be vile, Jeannine,” snapped her mother. “Those filthy refugees and creatures who live in the crowded hovels by the river, they’re always sick with something. But it is a gross injustice that my gala should suffer because the lower class falls ill. Don’t you agree, Lucille?”
