Produced by Ernest Schaal, Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Miss Million's Maid: A Romance of Love and Fortune" by Berta Ruck is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Beatrice Lovelace, a young woman living in a downtrodden state with her Aunt Anastasia while feeling the lack of social engagement and the joys of youth. When a young man from the neighboring house shows interest in Beatrice, a revelation follows that heralds a significant turn for their lives, especially after their maid, Million, learns of her unexpected inheritance from an uncle. The opening of the novel introduces Beatrice Lovelace's yearning for connection and excitement contrasted against her strict upbringing and the oppressive presence of her aunt. Set in a mundane middle-class neighborhood, the narrative begins with a chance encounter between Beatrice and the young man next door, which triggers a discussion about society and class. The dynamics are further complicated when Million, their maid, unexpectedly becomes an heiress, leading to fresh possibilities and a definitive change in the lives of both Beatrice and Million. This opening chapter sets the stage for themes of class disparity, friendship, and romance that unfold as the story progresses.
