Project Gutenberg 2011-02-09 Public domain in the USA. 207 Duchess 1897 Hungerford, Mrs. (Margaret Wolfe Hamilton) Hungerford, Margaret Wolfe Hamilton Hungerford, Margaret Hamilton Airy Fairy Lilian Produced by Barbara Tozier, Bill Tozier, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Airy Fairy Lilian" by Duchess is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Lilian Chesney, a spirited young woman grappling with the loss of her father and the accompanying upheaval in her life as she confronts the reality of moving from her beloved home, the Park, following her father's death. As an heiress, Lilian navigates her emotions, relationships, and societal expectations, setting the stage for a tale rich with themes of love, independence, and self-discovery. At the start of the novel, we meet Lilian as she resides in her family's drawing-room, recalling her father’s death. Clad in mourning yet singing joyfully, she exhibits conflicting emotions about her grief, hinting at a deeper complexity in her character. The opening chapters introduce her relationship with her aunt, Miss Priscilla, who encourages her to move on and face the future with her distant cousin, Archibald Chesney. Lilian's longing to remain in the Park and her interactions with her guardian and his family, including Sir Guy Chetwoode, set the stage for both personal and romantic developments. Her witty dialogue and youthful charm shine through her exchanges, particularly as she contemplates her prospects, revealing both her resilience and vulnerability as she embarks on a new chapter of her life.
