Summary "Betty Trevor" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Trevor family, particularly focusing on Betty, the eldest daughter, as she navigates her teenage years amid the complexities of family life and social class dynamics in London. The narrative explores themes of aspiration, jealousy, and the yearning for beauty and acceptance in a somewhat constrained environment. The opening of the book introduces the Trevor family, comprised of several children with Betty, age seventeen, taking center stage. As the young siblings observe the affluent "Pampered Pet" in the square, their contrasting lives spark envy and social commentary, particularly from Betty, who grapples with feelings of inadequacy regarding her looks and station in life. The characters' interactions highlight sibling rivalries, ambitions, and a longing for connection, especially as they become increasingly curious about their neighbors. The stage is set for the unfolding drama of their lives, friendships, and the nuances of social standing, hinting at the poignant exploration of both aspiration and human folly.
