Mortomley's Estate: A Novel by Mrs. J. H. Riddell. Mortomley's Estate traces the rise and fall of Archibald Mortomley, a generous colour-maker whose fortune collapses under city speculation and the power of the General Chemical Company. Set against the suburbs of London and the offices of Salisbury Buildings, the story intertwines private mercy with public deceit. Dolly Gerace Mortomley, Lenore, and Leonora Trebasson navigate love, loyalty, and social ambition as creditors circle and plans to liquidate threaten Homewood and Dassell Court. Among the principal players are the calculating manager Forde, the suave Kleinwort, and the scheming Werner, whose fortunes rise and fall with the estate. The novel explores class, marriage, and responsibility, asking what wealth really means and whether family devotion can endure when fortune deserts a family.
