Summary "Eveline Mandeville: or, The Horse Thief Rival" by Alvin Addison is a novel believed to have been written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around Eveline Mandeville, a strong-willed young woman who finds herself caught in a conflict between her father's desire for her to marry the wealthy Willard Duffel and her own feelings for Charles Hadley, a man she truly loves but whom her father disapproves of. The narrative introduces themes of love, loyalty, deception, and familial authority as Eveline navigates her tumultuous relationships. The opening of this novel presents a heated conversation between Eveline and her father, Mr. Mandeville, about her refusal to accept Duffel's proposal despite his wealth and good prospects. Eveline expresses her concerns about Duffel's moral character, suggesting he is associated with a gang of horse thieves, which intensifies tensions in their relationship. As the conversation unfolds, various misunderstandings and accusations arise, such as her father's insinuation that she is conspiring against Duffel with Hadley. Her father's anger leads to unfavorable developments, particularly concerning Hadley's reputation, setting the stage for a web of lies and conspiracies that will impact all the characters involved. The discourse highlights Eveline's resolve to choose her own fate in love while unraveling the sinister motivations of others around her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
