Horton Haflpott or The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor or The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset

The omniscient narrator clues us in to what will happen as well as reminding us of other publications that could give us additional background as he tells the story of a poor boy who triumphs over the hard heartedness of his ultimate superiors (the lady and son of the manor) as well as some of his fellow servants. There is wry humor that adds a level of sophistication to the story.
