Lucky Little Mopsy

About this drama

Five hundred thirty-two characters, and a note on series context: this is the original season of Lucky Little Mopsy, whose Season 3 entry appears in the same catalog under a separate listing, so the franchise spans at least three seasons and this summary covers only what the first-season listing states. A second note on the source: the copy contains mechanical typography errors, words run together without spaces in several places, which have been read through rather than reproduced. The premise: in 1920s New York, widow Verity saves tycoon Cornelius from assassins and moves into his manor with her three-and-a-half-year-old lucky daughter Mopsy. The daughter's gift is itemized as the listing's engine: blessed with incredible luck, Mopsy wins every mahjong game and raffle. The manor's repair work is then catalogued in household terms. She heals the reclusive youngest son Silas and helps him step out of his room, which is the emotional core stated as a threshold crossing. The third brother once exploits her fortune but soon repents, a fall and recovery given one clause each. The resolution is a dinner, and the copy is precise about its scale: the whole family gathers for their first dinner, and all Mopsy craves is a Thanksgiving turkey, bringing warmth to the cold wealthy clan. The gap between a first dinner and a craved turkey is the listing's whole measure of the household before and after the child. Thirty-eight episodes, complete, 1,540 views. Withheld: the assassins' employer, the widow's history, and the seasons that follow.
