When a handsome young man begins to court Catherine Sloper, she feels she is very lucky. She is a quiet, gentle girl, but neither beautiful nor clever; no one had ever admired her before, or come to the front parlour of her home in Washington Squareto whisper soft words of love to her.

One day Catherine will have a fortune of 30,000 dollars a year...
