Excerpt from Her Fortune Her Misfortune: A Novel
Time - Present. Scene - Bluepoint - that resort of millionaires to which it is as difficult for a poor man to gain admittance as it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Marygold Dare, heiress, has just arrived at The Castle, her aunt, Mrs. Castleton's, summer residence at Bluepoint.
Every August since she was left an orphan five years ago she has spent here, not from desire - did she con sult her desire she would never set foot within it - but from duty; and as duty is a mighty tedious thing (ex cept to saints, and Marygold is no saint!) August is the longest month in the calendar in her estimation.
