Summary
Virginia Lauriston, a young woman in an English aristocratic circle, debates with Sir Charles Gillespie over what life is open to her, insisting that she wants a real career rather than an ordinary marriage. Her banter with Charles reveals both her wit and her uneasy position as his ward, while Rupert Frack’s arrival brings in a foreign-office problem tied to an important visit and arrangements at Wynwood. The setting is a wealthy country house world shaped by money, titles, and political connections.
