  Fixed, thanks. I must have been conflating his name with that of writer Edward Everett Hale--totally different guys, obviously!

  What is that on the right side of Constance's face?

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  If you look at the photo of Constance and the dogs, next to this, you can see that her hat has a veil; I assume it's probably the veil.

  It is likely that McCall was named for the famous 19th-century orator Edward Everett (the windbag who shared the platform with Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery). That truly was an unflattering design on the veil that the young lady wore: it resembles a bad skin disease, or an attack of giant flying insects . . . .
