She also rejects the hand of Caspar Goodwood, the charismatic son and heir of a wealthy Boston mill owner. Isabel later declines Warburton's sudden proposal of marriage. There, Isabel meets her uncle, her friendly invalid cousin Ralph Touchett, and the Touchetts' robust neighbor, Lord Warburton. Isabel Archer, from Albany, New York, is invited by her maternal aunt, Lydia Touchett, to visit Lydia's rich husband, Daniel, at his estate near London, following the death of Isabel's father. It also treats in a profound way the themes of personal freedom, responsibility, and betrayal. Generally regarded as the masterpiece of James's early period, this novel reflects James's continuing interest in the differences between the New World and the Old, often to the detriment of the former. Like many of James's novels, it is set in Europe, mostly England and Italy. She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates. The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer, who, "affronting her destiny," finds it overwhelming. It is one of James's most popular novels and is regarded by critics as one of his finest. The Portrait of a Lady is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillan's Magazine in 1880–81 and then as a book in 1881.

Morgan worked as an independent wagoner and, as such, was impressed into the British army during the French and Indian War. Around the winter of 1752, Morgan left home, headed west, and finally settled in Winchester, Virginia, where he would spend the majority of his life. He is believed to have been born in 1735 to Welsh immigrants in New Jersey, although Pennsylvania and Virginia have also claimed him as a native. Little is known about Morgan’s birth and childhood. However, Morgan’s most famous victory was defeating Colonel Banastre Tarleton’s British Legion at the Battle of Cowpens in January 1781 by implementing tactics that successfully combined state militias, Continental regulars, and cavalry units. Morgan participated in several major campaigns of the Revolution, such as the invasion of Canada, the Saratoga Campaign, and the Southern Campaign. He served alongside and under several famous officers, including George Washington, Benedict Arnold, Horatio Gates, and Nathaniel Greene.

You’ve spent the last twenty-five years screwing over everyone who has ever cared about you. “You don’t want to die.” Archer stepped around him, hiked a hip onto the edge of the table, and waved his gun. Not for the first time in the last hour, Brody swiveled around in his chair to stare up at Archer, pleading. Next to him stood an open bottle of vodka and an armada of pill bottles, lined up in a neat little row. He lingered on the last page, hand trembling. “Don’t you think so? Whatever happened to ‘goodbye, cruel world’?”īy that point, Brody Hilton had filled four pages from top to bottom in shaky scrawl. “I feel that suicide notes lose their zing when they drag on too long.” Archer emphasized the statement with a tap of his foot.
