Description

Lord Hampstead had fallen in love with Marion Fay, only living daughter of an old Quaker who worked as a clerk in the City, whose wife and other children had all died of consumption. Although Marion loved Lord Hampstead she refused to marry him, foreseeing her early death, which soon occurred.

Author

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) spent his days as a Post Office surveyor and his early hours at the novel — a clerk's discipline that produced an English county of clergy and a later London of money. Barchester Towers is the church as weather: preferment, gossip, a bishop's wife. The Way We Live Now is the same eye on speculation and the social lie. He wrote without apology for the method. Church, vote, and marriage sit in the same air.
