A memoir narrated by Nellie Howard describes three sisters in Norton Ulgate living modestly and their romantic disappointments. Nellie rejects Captain Bebb due to ridicule, years later encountering him as Colonel Bebb with a wife, while Nellie remains single and reflective on social judgment and happiness.
