Emily Fox-Seton Being "The Making of a Marchioness" and "The Methods of Lady Walderhurst"

"Emily Fox-Seton" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a late 19th-century story about Emily Fox-Seton, a good-natured woman with not much money, who lives in London. Although life is hard, Emily is always cheerful, and finds happiness in helping others, which gets her noticed by rich people, who bring her into their high-class circle. At the start, Emily is dealing with everyday life, staying positive and being smart with her money. She is a helper to Lady Maria Bayne, who is well-connected, and this leads to an invite for Emily to a party at Mallowe Court. Emily is thrilled because she wants to see how the rich live. The beginning shows Emily is kind, grateful, and wants to be helpful, which prepares us for her adventure into a world that seems magical but far away.
