Falling in with Fortune; Or, The Experiences of a Young Secretary Produced by Shane McDonald "Falling in with Fortune; Or, The Experiences of a Young Secretary" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Robert Frost, a young boy who, due to the cruel treatment of his step-father, leaves home to seek independence and fortune in Chicago. Throughout his journey, Robert faces numerous challenges as he navigates his new life, ultimately gaining a position as a private secretary to a wealthy woman, Mrs. Vernon, while also dealing with the dangers posed by a treacherous relative. At the start of the narrative, Robert receives a telegram from his friend Dick Marden, detailing Marden's business trip to California. Shortly after, Robert is unexpectedly fired from his position at a ticket office due to a family obligation of his boss, which leaves him in search of work with dwindling funds. As he struggles to find employment, he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a situation where he is falsely accused of theft in a store. Fortunately, he is exonerated with the help of a clergyman. Following this incident, Robert encounters Mrs. Vernon, who hires him as her private secretary, thus setting the stage for a series of adventures and trials that will test his character and resolve.
