Right At Last is a novel written by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in 1860. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Margaret Dawson, who is forced to leave her home and move to London with her father and stepmother. Margaret is a kind and intelligent woman who struggles to fit in with her new surroundings and the people around her. She is also in love with a man named Mr. Buxton, who is engaged to another woman.As the story progresses, Margaret’s stepmother becomes increasingly cruel and manipulative, causing Margaret to feel even more isolated and alone. However, Margaret’s life takes a turn for the better when she meets a group of kind and supportive friends who help her to find her place in the world.Throughout the novel, Margaret faces many challenges and obstacles, but she remains determined to find happiness and fulfillment in her life. Eventually, she is able to overcome her difficulties and find love with the man she has always loved, Mr. Buxton.Right At Last is a touching and insightful novel that explores themes of love, family, and the struggle to find one’s place in the world. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today.The charwoman now appeared at the door with her pail of hot water. Margaret looked into her face, as if to read guilt or innocence. She was a protegee of Christie’s, who was not apt to accord her favour easily, or without good grounds; an honest, decent widow, with a large family to maintain by her labour -- that was the character in which Margaret had engaged her; and she looked it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
