Summary: "Major Frank" by A. L. G. Bosboom-Toussaint is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Leopold van Zonshoven, a man who unexpectedly inherits a vast fortune from a long-lost aunt, contingent upon him marrying her chosen granddaughter, Francis Mordaunt. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale of mixed fortunes, family intrigue, and the complexities of relationships amidst societal expectations. The beginning of "Major Frank" unfolds through a letter from Sir Leopold van Zonshoven, revealing his astonishment at suddenly becoming wealthy while also lamenting his prior struggles. He seeks advice from his friend, barrister William Verheyst, particularly concerning the unexpected condition that he must marry Francis, whom he has never met. An anonymous letter hints at potential complications ahead, foreshadowing a challenging journey for Leopold as he navigates the waters of familial relationships, societal expectations, and his burgeoning feelings toward the spirited Francis, dubbed "Major Frank" for her eccentricities. The narrative is rich with humor and social commentary as well as the dichotomy between wealth and personal desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
