Omschrijving

Good Lady Ducayne is a gothic novella by Mary E. Braddon, first published in 1896. The story revolves around a young and impoverished nurse named Bella Rolleston who is hired by Lady Ducayne, an elderly and wealthy woman suffering from an incurable disease. Bella is initially excited about the opportunity to travel and work for Lady Ducayne, but soon discovers that her employer is a cruel and selfish woman who cares only about her own comfort and longevity. As Bella becomes increasingly disillusioned with her job, she begins to suspect that Lady Ducayne's illness may not be what it seems. With the help of a fellow nurse, Bella uncovers a dark and sinister secret that threatens to destroy them both. Good Lady Ducayne is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense that explores themes of power, greed, and mortality.I put her down at a hundred--not a year less, ' replied the parson. 'Her reminiscences all go back to the Regency. She was evidently then in her zenith; and I have heard her say things that showed she was in Parisian society when the First Empire was at its best--before Josephine was divorced.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
