Ready-Money Mortiboy: A Matter-Of-Fact Story is a novel written by Walter Besant and first published in 1887. The story is set in the fictional town of Rotherhithe, where the Mortiboy family runs a successful grocery business. The patriarch of the family, Mortiboy Senior, is a shrewd businessman who has amassed a considerable fortune through his business dealings. The story revolves around the youngest member of the Mortiboy family, Richard, who is known as Ready-Money Mortiboy due to his quick thinking and ability to make deals on the spot. Richard is a likable character who is determined to prove his worth to his family and make a name for himself in the business world. As the story progresses, Richard becomes embroiled in a complex web of deceit and betrayal as he tries to navigate the cutthroat world of business. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful and mysterious woman named Mrs. Valentin, who becomes a key player in his quest for success. Ready-Money Mortiboy: A Matter-Of-Fact Story is a fascinating look at the world of Victorian business and the lengths that people will go to in order to achieve success. It is a gripping tale of ambition, greed, and the struggle to maintain one's integrity in a world where money is king. Besant's writing is sharp and engaging, and his characters are vividly drawn and memorable.
