Mrs Gereth is convinced that Fleda Vetch would make the perfect daughter-in-law. Owen Gereth, however, has inconveniently become engaged to the uncultured Mona Brigstock. As a family quarrel unfolds, Fleda is drawn in, yet she remains reluctant to captivate Owen, who seems as attracted to her as she is to him. Is she motivated by scruple or fear?
