| Summary | "The Senator's Favorite" by Mrs. Alex McVeigh Miller is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around themes of jealousy, rivalry, and familial bonds as it unfolds the experiences of two sisters, Ethel and Precious Winans. Precious, the younger and favored daughter, finds herself kidnapped during an eventful Inauguration Ball, setting off a chain of events defined by Ethel's complex feelings and the escalating tension between the sisters. The opening of the novel introduces the characters and their dynamics, establishing Ethel as the jealous older sister of the beautiful Precious. Their mother, Mrs. Winans, struggles to manage their contrasting desires, particularly as Precious insists on attending the grand ball despite her young age. Ethel's jealousy brews as Precious is doted on by their father, the senator, leading to questions of love, attention, and rivalry. As the story progresses, the focus shifts to a gripping adventure where Precious's abduction by a determined suitor forces both sisters to confront their emotions amid the turmoil, emphasizing the destructive power of jealousy interwoven with familial love.
