| 520 | _a"Ask Mamma; or, The Richest Commoner In England" by Robert Smith Surtees is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Billy Pringle, who aspires to be seen as a gentleman, despite his humble origins as part of a trading family. As he navigates social situations filled with humor and satire, themes of ambition, social class, and identity emerge. The opening of the novel introduces us to Billy Pringle, fondly referred to as "Fine Billy," who is characterized by his attempts to embody gentility despite his humble background. The narrative provides a glimpse into his interactions with various members of his family, revealing their dynamics and his desire to fit into a more affluent social circle. We also meet Miss Willing, a lady's maid with aspirations of her own, who captures Billy's attention during a coach journey. Their budding acquaintance sets the stage for the humorous and often absurd twists of social class and romance that will unfold throughout the story.
