Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Jolly Sally Pendleton; Or, the Wife Who Was Not a Wife" by Laura Jean Libbey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two sisters, Sally and Louise Pendleton, who are determined to win the affections of a wealthy young doctor named Jay Gardiner during their summer vacation in a fashionable village. The interplay of wealth, societal expectations, and romantic intrigue sets the stage for the drama and potential rivalry that will ensue. At the start of the tale, Jay Gardiner is introduced as a handsome, wealthy bachelor who prefers a simpler life away from his family's high society. He captures the attention of Sally and Louise, who arrive with the intention of courting him as a way out of their own financial troubles. As the sisters vie for his affection, the narrative hints at deeper emotions and conflicts, particularly within Sally, who secretly harbors desires of her own. The opening chapters sketch a vivid picture of the social dynamics and the characters' motivations, establishing a foundation for the unfolding relationship drama.
