Fun See has not only come to the States to study, he has done well in business...Annabel is going to marry into money, as I recall, because he comes from a mercantile background. I think that's part of what makes it all right. But it really is remarkable for the period.
I find LMA's prose so cloying as to be almost unreadable sometimes. Other times, I skip past the morals and am able to have fun with the story. I like Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom better than almost any of her other books, barring Little Women.
