The situation is all the more unfortunate as Lord Lufton, the son of Lady Lufton, wishes to marry Mark's sister Lucy.  Lady Lufton vigorously opposes the marriage but Lucy faces her hostility with an appealing strength and vivacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrollope protrayed his characters with great subtlety, showing how the old values of the Barsetshire community were being underminded by the new, more vulgar 'fast set'.  \u003ci\u003eFramley Parsonage\u003c\/i\u003e is the fourth of the six \u003ci\u003eChronicles of Barsetshire.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46470220153073,"sku":"9781729756577","price":20.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781729756577_p0.jpg?v=1765147864","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781729756577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
