| Summary | "Suffered in Vain: or, A Plaything of Fate" by Bertha M. Clay is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around complex themes of love, fate, sacrifice, and societal expectations, focusing on characters whose lives intricately intertwine amidst dramatic revelations and emotional turmoil. The opening of the narrative introduces a tranquil and genteel setting in a summer twilight at Porchester Square. Central to the initial chapters are three main characters: the impoverished Leonardo Gilardoni, who once served as a valet, the enchanting and seemingly aloof Lucia Guiscardini, and Captain Paul Desfrayne, who is caught in a pivotal life situation tied to an unexpected inheritance. The plot sets in motion as Desfrayne learns of a will that not only names him as a trustee but intriguingly pairs him with the young heiress, Lois Turquand, highlighting layers of emotional conflict and the burdens of social expectations against the backdrop of tragic love and chance encounters.
