Description
The most perfect gentleman in Trollope's novels is Madame Max Goesler. She was the daughter of a humble Jewish attorney, and her only endowments by birth were beauty and intelligence. But she inherited a fortune from her husband and with these assets Marie Goesler moved from Vienna to London, hoping to make her way into the top social circles. She succeeded so well that the highest duke of all offered her his coronet.
