Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. “Ayala’s Angel” is a novel that focuses on two orphaned sisters, Lucy and Ayala Dormer, Ayala especially, and their trials, with their relatives. It was written as a stand-alone novel rather than as part of a series, though several of the minor characters appear in other novels by Trollope.

Excerpt from Ayala's Angel, Vol. 2 of 3 On the day fixed Ayala went down to Stalham. A few days before she started there came to her a letter, or rather an envelope, from her uncle Sir Thomas, enclosing a cheque for 20. The Tringle women had heard that Ayala had been asked to Stalham, and had mentioned the visit disparagingly before Sir Thomas. -I think it very wrong of my poor brother, - said Lady Tringle. -She can't have a shilling even to get herself gloves.- This had an effect which had not been intended, and Sir Thomas sent the cheque for 20. Then Ayala felt not only that the heavens were opened to her but that the sweetest zephyrs were blowing her on upon her course. Thoughts as to gloves had disturbed her, and as to some shoes which were wanting, and especially as to a pretty hat for winter wear. Now she could get hat and shoes and gloves, and pay her fare, and go down to Stalham with money in her pocket. Before going she wrote a very pretty note to her Uncle Tom.
