Set against the backdrop of the Edwardian era, the story follows the Crofton siblings as they navigate societal pressures surrounding marriage. Felicity, at 25, is poised to marry a wealthy suitor more interested in leisure than love, while her younger sister Sylvia resists their father's plans for her to wed a millionaire. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Savile is caught between his infatuation with a famous opera singer and the expectations of a local girl. This humorous exploration of romantic dilemmas highlights Leverson's wit and offers a fresh perspective on the era's social dynamics.
