Under False Pretenses is a novel written by Adeline Sergeant in 1889. The story revolves around a young woman named Hester Wynne who is left alone and penniless after the death of her father. In order to make ends meet, she takes a job as a governess in a wealthy family's home. However, she soon discovers that her employer, Mr. Carlyle, is not what he appears to be. He is a con artist who uses his charm to deceive people and steal their money. Hester finds herself caught in the middle of Mr. Carlyle's schemes, and she must decide whether to help him or expose him. Along the way, she falls in love with a young man named Arthur Vincent, who is also caught up in Mr. Carlyle's web of lies. The novel explores themes of deception, love, and morality, and it is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
