## Snapshot

A physician and family friend whose knitting brows and blunt verdicts threaten to expose Captain Ivie McCormack before the courtship can properly begin.

## Who they are

Dr. Herron plays chess at The Eyrie with Mr. Tremarten and remembers Ivie McCormack from Rugby days, which is exactly why his opinion carries weight. When Tremarten reads aloud his daughter's letter mentioning the captain, the doctor's face darkens and he declares McCormack unfit for any woman's company. His warning hangs over the McCormacks' Mayfair boudoir scheming, making him the quiet obstacle that the fashionable brother and sister must somehow get around.
