Her father, George, had been a well-connected and successful stockbroker until his bankruptcy was declared at about the same time as his death. Amy's subsequent downturn both financially and socially - and her hunt for a suitable husband to restore her seat in society - led Edith Wharton to use her as her inspiration for 'Lily Bart' - who was also said to be inspired by Lady Alice (Blight) Lowther - in The House of Mirth. •
