About this book
Poor and Proud or The Fortunes of Katy Redburn is by Oliver Optic and is described as a story for young folks. Katy bolts into a room with a lot of flounders and some bread, telling her mother she has got them for her. Dr. Flynch is the agent of Mrs. Gordon, a widow lady who owned the house in which Katy's mother lived, and he collected her rents.
Dr. Flynch tells Mrs. Redburn that she has told him a falsehood, because she said she had no money, not a cent. The narrator believes Katy's gentle, polite manners and her sweet voice, made sweet by a loving heart, contributed most to her success as a candy merchant. The narrator says a person cannot succeed in business by being merely good looking.
