Summary: "Mortomley's Estate: A Novel. Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Mr. Asherill, a well-known public accountant in London, whose life is entwined with the theme of bankruptcy and the struggles of those who fall victim to a ruthless financial system. The narrative brings forth the character of Archibald Mortomley, whose family history and present troubles create a tapestry of personal and social dilemmas. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of city life and the emerging class of wealthy, yet morally ambiguous, businessmen. It begins with a focus on Mr. Asherill's character and his long tenure in the City, exploring his past, fortunes, and the scandalous pressure surrounding bankruptcy - particularly that of Mortomley. Asherill's disdain for the foreign business dealings he encounters highlights the prevailing attitudes of the time. The chapter lays the groundwork for a story that promises complex interpersonal relationships and the moral questions surrounding wealth and integrity, as the financial fates of the characters become entwined amidst a backdrop of societal expectations and personal failures.
