Dora Deane is a novel written by Mary J. Holmes. The book follows the life of the titular character, Dora Deane, a young woman who is forced to leave her comfortable life and move to the city to support her family. Dora takes a job as a seamstress and struggles to make ends meet while also dealing with the challenges of city life. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters, including a wealthy businessman who offers to help her, a kind-hearted doctor who becomes her friend, and a jealous rival who tries to ruin her reputation. As Dora navigates these challenges, she must also confront her own feelings of love and loyalty, and ultimately find a way to create a better life for herself and her family. The novel is a classic example of 19th century American literature, exploring themes of social class, gender roles, and the challenges of urban life.Very pleasantly to Dora did the remainder of the winter pass away. She was appreciated at last, and nothing could exceed the kindness of both Mr. and Mrs. Hastings, the latter of whom treated her more like a sister than a servant, while even Eugenia, who came often to Rose Hill, and whose fawning manner had partially restored her to the good opinion of the fickle Ella, tried to treat her with a show of affection, when she saw how much she was respected. Regularly each day Dora went to the handsome library where she recited her lessons to Mr. Hastings, who became deeply interested in watching the development of her fine intellectual mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
