A Simple Story is a novel written by Elizabeth Inchbald, also known as Mrs. Inchbald. The book was first published in 1791 and is considered a classic of English literature. The story follows the life of a young woman named Miss Milner, who is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Miss Milner is beautiful and charming, but she is also impulsive and headstrong. She falls in love with a man named Dorriforth, who is a clergyman and her guardian. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Dorriforth is devoted to his religious duties and is hesitant to pursue a romantic relationship with Miss Milner. The novel explores themes of love, morality, and the challenges of balancing personal desires with societal expectations. A Simple Story is known for its vivid characters, emotional depth, and engaging plot. It is considered a landmark work of English literature and remains popular with readers today.Beautiful as she had appeared to Miss Woodley and to Dorriforth the preceding day, when she joined them the next morning at breakfast, repossessed of her lively elegance and dignified simplicity, they gazed at her, and at each other alternately, with wonder!--and Mrs. Horton, as she sat at the head of her tea-table, felt herself but as a menial servant, such command has beauty if united with sense and with virtue.--In Miss Milner it was so united. --Yet let not our over-scrupulous readers be misled, and extend their idea of her virtue so as to magnify it beyond that which frail mortals commonly possess.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
