While there, they meet a number of interesting characters, including the free-spirited George Emerson and his father. Lucy is initially drawn to George, but Charlotte disapproves of him and encourages Lucy to pursue a more suitable match, the wealthy and respectable Cecil Vyse.As Lucy navigates the social expectations and conventions of Edwardian society, she must choose between following her heart and conforming to the expectations of others.
