Margaret falls in love with a man named George, who is from a lower social class than her own. Despite the objections of her uncle and other members of society, Margaret decides to marry George and they move to a small village where they start a new life together.Lucy, on the other hand, becomes engaged to a wealthy man named Sir John, but she is not truly in love with him.
