Along the way, she meets several men, including the wealthy and charming Sir Thomas Tringle, the artistic and sensitive Colonel Jonathan Stubbs, and the mysterious and enigmatic Mr. Septimus Traffick.As Ayala tries to decide which man she truly loves, she also faces challenges from her family, who disapprove of her choices, and from society, which expects her to conform to traditional gender roles. Ultimately, Ayala must decide whether to follow her heart or to succumb to the pressures of society.Ayala's Angel is a classic novel of Victorian literature, exploring themes of love, marriage, class, and gender. It is a timeless story that continues to captivate readers today.It was suggested to Lucy before she had been long in Kingsbury Crescent that she should take some exercise. For the first week she had hardly been out of the house; but this was attributed to her sorrow. Then she had accompanied her aunt for a few days during the half-hour's marketing which took place every morning, but in this there had been no sympathy. Lucy would not interest herself in the shoulder of mutton which must be of just such a weight as to last conveniently for two days.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
