what does "catch" here mean?
Hearing this mocking laughter, and listening to Princess Agnes’ patronizing words, Klara made up her mind. She stood up, faced her stepmother and said, calmly and firmly: ‘It’s true! I have decided to marry him. It’s settled.’ With deeper emphasis, the catch in her throat showing how much her whole being longed for love and sympathy and help, she went on: ‘You see, we love each other!’

Question

Answer

Here "catch" is being used to mean "hesitation in the voice, caused by strong emotion," describing without saying that Klara is upset as people tend to choke on their own words a bit when they are in distress.
