| Summary | "Phantom Fortune" by M. E. Braddon is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This work intertwines themes of societal expectation, personal ambition, and romantic intrigue, centering around the character Lady Maulevrier, who epitomizes ambition and status in English society. The narrative seems poised to explore the complexities of her public persona contrasted against her private struggles, particularly concerning her husband’s questionable reputation and their family's future. The opening of the novel introduces us to a vibrant social scene in London, specifically at Lord Denyer's dinner party, where various societal figures gather. Lady Maulevrier makes her entrance amid whispers of scandal surrounding her husband, who is embroiled in a series of allegations due to his actions while serving as Governor of Madras. Meanwhile, Lady Maulevrier's character is equally compelling; she exhibits poise and confidence despite the dark cloud overshadowing her marital life. As she engages in lively conversation with other guests, the weight of her husband's disgrace remains an undercurrent, suggesting that the novel will delve into the interplay between societal reputation and personal resilience as the story unfolds.
