of the novel, we are introduced to Evangeline’s character as she reflects on her newfound status after the death of her wealthy guardian, Mrs. Carruthers. Evangeline expresses her determination to embrace life as an adventuress, musing on her beauty and the challenges of living without substantial means. As she prepares to meet Christopher Carruthers, the heir to the estate, to potentially discuss her fate, she contemplates the disappointments of her upbringing and the prospect of an unhappy marriage.
