Easy to read. Charles Franks, Charles Aldarondo, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. Revised by Richard Tonsing. "Oh, Money! Money!" by Eleanor H. Porter is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves primarily around Stanley G. Fulton, a wealthy yet introspective millionaire who grapples with the legacy and implications of his vast fortune. Haunted by concerns over how his inheritance will be managed after his passing, Fulton hatches a plan to disguise himself under the alias John Smith to observe how his distant relatives back East contend with unexpected wealth. At the start of this captivating tale, we meet Fulton in the office of his lawyer, contemplating the potential fate of his money and expressing skepticism about organized charity, which he feels lacks genuine compassion. Inspired after encountering a young man who squandered his inheritance, Fulton devises a scheme to anonymously provide his three cousins with significant financial sums to assess their character and capability of handling wealth. The opening chapters artfully set the stage for a narrative rich with social commentary, exploring themes of money, morality, and family, while introducing a cast of quirky relatives, including Flora, a modest dressmaker, and James Blaisdell, a struggling grocery store owner. Fulton's journey promises to reflect not only on his own values but also on the intrigues of human nature in relation to wealth and responsibility.
