frashly released in project gutenberg. This is a very engaging novel from the early 19th century. It was published in 1814, and Mary Brunton died in 1818. This would be most sutable for someone as a solo, since it's narrated in the first person. It's the story of Ellen Persy, a rich and spoiled woman, who looses her money in a tragedy and finaly learns to aprishiate the man who loved her all along. For some reason, I can't give you a direct link to the etext. But this might help:

Hope you'll take this up!

Thank you, David. I don't think we should read the footnote at the end. Though if someone elce will see fit, a speshal section might be added for it. And I didn't know it was that long.
