N2  - "Jilted! Or, My Uncle's Scheme, Volume 2" by William Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complex relationships of a young man named Charlie who finds himself entangled in a scheme devised by his wealthy uncle, which involves marrying the uncle's daughter, Theresa, for her money—a prospect Charlie finds distasteful as he is already in love with his cousin Conny.   The opening of the novel introduces a family dinner where Charlie's opinion of his uncle Dick shifts as he witnesses the man's charming and conversational nature. Following lively conversation, Charlie engages in discussions about relationships and wealth, highlighting his emotional conflict regarding his uncle's proposition for him to marry Theresa. As the narrative unfolds, Charlie's feelings for Conny deepen, creating a tension between duty and love, culminating in a humorous but dramatic exchange about the future. The complexity of family dynamics and the weight of social expectations set the stage for Charlie’s turbulent romantic journey intertwined with comedic misadventures.
