''The Luckey Chance Or An Alderman’s Bargain'' is a novel by Aphra Behn, first published in 1686. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Leticia, who is forced to marry a wealthy but older man named Sir Timothy Treat-all. Despite her initial reluctance, Leticia finds herself drawn to Sir Timothy’s wealth and power, and soon becomes embroiled in a web of political intrigue and deception.As she navigates the treacherous world of London society, Leticia must use all her wit and charm to stay one step ahead of her enemies. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including the scheming Alderman Smuggler, the dashing Mr. Wilding, and the beautiful but dangerous Mrs. Ferrers.With its witty dialogue, complex characters, and intricate plot, ''The Luckey Chance Or An Alderman’s Bargain'' is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Restoration-era England. It is also a testament to Behn’s skill as a writer, and her ability to capture the nuances of human behavior with precision and insight.Then beg’d I wou’d be secret: for he vow’d, his whole Repose and Life, depended on my Silence. Nor had I told it now, But that your Ladyship, may find some speedy means to draw him from this desperate Condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
