East Lynne
Authorship not stated
You are Lady Isabel, learning that your father's debts require secretly selling East Lynne, the house you grew up in, while London still assumes a fortune awaits you. Archibald Carlyle, the buyer, insists on a fair valuation and a full accounting of who depends on the estate, even as the fashionable Francis Levison courts you in ignorance of the sale. By the time the deed is signed, your father is too ill to arrange anywhere else for you, and Carlyle, now East Lynne's owner, offers to let you stay.
