Georgiana recognises the man standing before her as Edward Newmarch"s valet Robert Allen - Edward himself appears to have vanished. But Edward, having escaped from a disastrous marriage in England, is now in further trouble with women, having agreed to marry the difficult daughter of a powerful landowner and businessman, while pursuing his beautiful wife Sofia.
