Esther Thompson's family lost its land and wealth in America. Now she is living in a humid and dark cellar in a dilapidated tenement in London. Her sister is handicaped, her mother is sick. She makes a small living as a shop girl, but the money by far is not enough to feed three persons. In great dispair, Esther answers a wedding advertisement and meets a young man called Hubert Kent. When he promises to support the family financially, Esther decides to marry him only a few weeks later. Her mother, a religious woman, is shocked. But Esther is surprised she is so happy with her lot, once married. Still, she sometimes wonders how Hubert, who works as a journalist, can afford to support three women...
"Beggars All" from 1893 is not a great novel, but it is a very good and quite catchy read, especially if you did not expect it to be of any interest.
