MARION MARLOWE
From Farm to Fortune
A book for Old Fashioned Teenage
Girls
Farm girl Marion Marlowe is on her way home when she stops
to take in the surrounding countryside. “Same farms, same hills, same animals!
Oh, I’m just sick of country life and a farm life!” Little does she know that
her circumstances are about to change! A magnificent singer, she breaks into
song and might readily be forgiven for glorying in her superb natural talent.
On arrival at home, she finds Dolores, or Dollie as she was
called, weeping in the yard. She tells Marion that her father, not for the
first time, wants her to enter a loveless marriage with the detestable Silas
Johnson, which she has refused to do.
Time passes and a mysterious Mr Carlos Lawson appears at the
farm, which causes unease with Marion. She also overhears a conversation
between Silas and her father and realises that Silas has a hold on her father
and is wanting Dollie in exchange. Despite her misgivings she confides in
Carlos Lawson and instantly regrets what she has done.
While helping the orphan Bert Jackson escape from the orphanage
after one beating too many, she discovers that Dollie, too, has runaway. Only
she hasn’t runaway but been abducted by the black-hearted Carlos Lawson and the
two have gone to New York.
Marion sees the rescue of her sister as a valid excuse to
escape the confines of the farm and plans to go to New York in search of her
sister. She then packs and leaves for the city on a quest to find her sister.
Join Marion Marlowe on this, the first of her many
adventures in 1900’s New York city.
