Frank R. Stockton’s novel The Girl at Cobhurst deals around the life of Maria Marillo, a young woman who unexpectedly inherits the Cobhurst estate. Mr. Sidney, Maria’s uncle, surprises everyone by leaving the estate to her rather than his own son, Rudolph Marillo. Maria and her friend Anne arrive at Cobhurst to take possession of her inheritance. Rudolph first resents Maria, but later develops romantic feelings for her. As Maria takes over Cobhurst and improves the estate, Rudolph’s feelings for her grow, generating conflict between him and Anne. Maria, on the other hand, is determined to see Cobhurst transformed into a profitable and modern estate. Despite Rudolph’s efforts to pursue her, Maria maintains her independence. Along the novel, Maria overcomes a number of problems and barriers, but she eventually succeeds in her efforts, transforming Cobhurst into a prosperous property. Maria’s relationship with Rudolph grows over time, and he gradually comes to accept her autonomy and recognise her accomplishments.
