Emily Fox-Seton - The Making of a Marchioness and The Methods of Lady Walderhurst (1901). Frances Hodgson Burnett combines two stories in this novel. In the first Cinderella-like tale, Emily is a poor gentlewoman who tirelessly helps others. Her prince is the Marquis of Walderhurst, a rather dull man who marries Emily for her practical nature. The second story is a twist on the happily-ever-after fairy tale, however. Lord Walderhurst travels to India while Emily is beset by the evil Alec Osborn. Murder may well be in the air.
