I did not realize you can do that😅.
Thank you for informing me 😊.
So after following what the person advised. I found it!My request is Solved, my book is
"A Fancy of Hers ; The Disagreeable Woman: Two Lost Novels for Adults by the Man Loved for His Rags-to-riches Tales for Juveniles" by Horatio Alger
The wealthy girl went there to become a new teacher in that aforementioned small town. She has heard of this teaching position from her dressmaker, who came from the aforementioned small town as well. She does hide the fact that she does come from money and is described as beautiful.
I have not finished reading the entire story, but I remember it includes plot points that you may expect from a story such as this. Such as some of the inhabitants are suspicious of her, and there is an older lady that does not approve of her
I remember reading this in Internet Archive (https://archive.org/), in the early half of 2023.
I remember this story was part of a book that is a collection of stories from one author. I forgot the name of the author, but it was a man's name and there was a lot of works attached to it.
If it helps, I remember one of the other stories may have the word "lady" in the title. The year that was given under "Publication date", was later than when the stories in the book were originally published. Since when I research the story, I can faintly remember it was originally published sometime between the 1890s to early 1900s.
It is published in English
