Lucy is thrilled by the opportunity to work for such a prestigious employer, but she soon discovers that Mr. Crofton has more than just business on his mind. He begins to pursue her romantically, and Lucy finds herself torn between her desire for a better life and her own moral values.As Lucy navigates this difficult situation, she also deals with the challenges of working as a telegraph operator in a male-dominated industry.
