Virgie's Inheritance is a novel written by Mrs. George Sheldon. The story revolves around the life of Virgie, a young woman who inherits a large sum of money from her father's estate. The inheritance comes with a catch, however, as Virgie's father has stipulated that she must marry within a year of his death in order to fully claim her inheritance. Virgie, who has always been independent and self-sufficient, is initially resistant to the idea of marriage. She is determined to make her own way in the world and is skeptical of the idea of being tied down to a man. However, as the deadline for her inheritance approaches, Virgie begins to reconsider her stance on marriage. Throughout the novel, Virgie navigates the complexities of love, marriage, and family relationships. She grapples with the question of whether she should marry for love or for financial security, and ultimately must make a decision that will shape the course of her life. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy suitor, a scheming cousin, and a wise old friend who offers her sage advice. Overall, Virgie's Inheritance is a compelling story about the challenges and choices faced by young women in the late 19th century. It explores themes of love, money, and independence, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time.They had no relations or friends to whom he could confide her. There were reasons why he was unwilling to appoint a guardian and send her back to their former home, and so, at last, he resolved to commit her to the care of his early friend and college mate, Laurence Bancroft, a wealthy merchant of New York city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
