Bettina sets about to rectify matters.įrances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 –1924) was an English-American playwright and author. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her husband's ill treatment. Years later her younger sister Bettina, beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has happened to her sister. She all but loses contact with her family in America. The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying English aristocrats by extension it is about the effect of American energy and dynamism rejuvenating a somewhat decadent English aristocracy: Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. It was begun in 1900 but frequently abandoned while its author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, wrote several other books, including, most famously, The Making of a Marchioness. The second, originally titled The Methods of Lady Walderhurst, is a down-to-earth portrayal of the realities of Victorian marriage, with a bit of a Victorian sensation vibe to it. It was originally published in two parts: the first tells the fairy tale-like story of how our heroine, Emily Fox-Seton, became the Marchioness of Walderhurst. This carefully crafted ebook: “The Making of a Marchioness + The Shuttle (2 Unabridged Classic Romances)” contains 2 books in one volume and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.

Maddy Harris, a troubled teen, also spends her lunch hour at the cemetery to escape those who bully her at school. He talks to her and imagines the lives of others buried near her. Arthur's wife Nola died recently but he still has lunch every day at her grave site. This is an incredibly sweet story about three lonely, disparate people who learn to love and support each other (Frances N).
