Little Lord Fauntleroy

In a shabby New York City side street in the mid-1880s, young Cedric Errol lives with his mother in genteel poverty after the death of his father, Captain Cedric Errol. One day, they are visited by an English lawyer with a message from Cedric's grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, an unruly millionaire who despises the United States. With the deaths of his father's elder brothers, Cedric has now inherited the title Lord Fauntleroy and is the heir to the earldom and a vast estate. Cedric's grandfather takes him to live in England and be educated as an English aristocrat.

    💡Learnt A Lot

    Its easy to say that we see a corrupted mind as a doing of the environment and people around a person. Lord fauntleroy's ability to see wealth and status as a minor, if not serious thing, shows how much he has learnt from the people around him, not saying maybe other lords are mean or heartless, speaking on cedric's case, I'm glad he grew up around the people like dick and Mr Hobbs, the apple lady and his dearest of course, their hearts combined made Cedric to be.....Cedric!

Quotes

    Once, when I fell down and cut my knee, she gave me an apple for nothing. I've always remembered her for it. You know you always remember people who are kind to you."

    It had never occurred to his honest, simple little mind that there were people who could forget kindnesses.
