NOTE: An old platonic usage of the word 'Lover' indicating 'one that loves'. There's no hint of sex in all in this publication. It could be better to consider this a podcast, I had a whole lot of problem with the cam moving in and also out of emphasis yet the audio is just great. Recorded over numerous sessions. In my publication: Phase One pp 7-33 Chapter Two pp 33-54 Chapter Three pp 54-78 Story summary (my own words):. *****. The ruined and untrustworthy Lydia Middlemore has a really aristocratic family however no lot of money. Not that she knows anything concerning poverty. She has matured in the family manor with slaves, gorgeous yards as well as a continuous stream of equally well-born visitors. Any kind of troubles with cash are kept securely between her parents, the rigidly upright Sir William as well as the wise however managing Girl Middlemore. Go Into Mr Charles Mornington, Esquire, bachelor neighbour of enormous ton of money. Charles is awkward and unsophisticated, his education barely sufficient and his pedigree extremely suspicious. Yet he has fallen for Lydia and makes her an offer of marital relationship. It's the ideal solution to a wide variety of problems. The Mornington money will not only give Lydia all the security she could require, there's enough to assist Lydia's sis also. And Lydia's noble breeding will certainly increase the Morningtons dramatically in Victorian English society. On top of that, Charles is every little bit as besotted as a young lady could want of her spouse. Lydia's immediate rejection is the only spanner in the works. She does not like him in all. The disconcerted Sir William bargains a compromise. Mr Mornington might see the Middlemore family members as often as he likes, and also Lydia will certainly do her finest to obtain to recognize him without prejudice. This is a story of two premature young people coming to know themselves via their attempts to recognize one more. *****. #victorianliterature.
