It tells the story of a Chinese entertainer given shelter by an English aristocrat and the romantic adventure that follows. The Lively Fanny is a light comedy, concentrating on an Irish adventurer and his two loves, both named Fanny.

This is another of the novels that Trollope set mainly in Ireland. In this one the hero, a cavalry lieutenant and heir to an earldom, seduces the beautiful Kate O’Hara, who lives with her mother in genteel poverty in an isolated cottage in western Ireland. When news of the hero’s actions reach his family, he is forced to promise not to marry the unsuitable girl, in spite of any arrangement that he has already made with her. Kate, however, is pregnant; but he leaves her when he inherits the earldom. The confrontation between the now anti-hero, Kate, and her mother takes place on the cliffs near their cottage. Mrs. O’Hara, wild with anger, pushes the young man over the cliff and promptly goes mad.

This is Collins’s second novel, after Antonina, and “A Story of Modern Life.” Basil is high-born but falls in love with a linen-draper’s daughter, with whom he contracts a secret marriage. She is subsequently seduced by her father’s clerk, and Basil discovers them in a sordid hotel with walls so thin that he can hear them copulating (horrifying Collins’s contemporaries). In the resulting fight the seducer is thrown onto a newly macadamized road and horribly disfigured. The unfaithful wife dies of typhus and remorse. Later the rivals meet in Cornwall, and the seducer is thrown into a boiling sea.

Tregarthen’s housekeeper, maid, and man-servant were there also, and when he came amongst them they were all staring at the fated ship. Against the opposite rocks she scarcely showed at all, . . . ‘There’s where she’ll break,’ said one old Sea Dog.” David Christie Murray Pears' Soap http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/yellowbacks/files/original/61c8bfc382d17645df4e9297afb2acf2.jpg 384aa2ce35384187dc8ca8ded9bcce7f http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/yellowbacks/files/original/653385d221b639a8ee1e38dbfefc65df.jpg 97b9643c2e63aead38e9c9c5063ecf66 Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
