A young woman recalls a past betrothal to Peter in India after Aunt Thomasina blocks their match. She kept Peter's memory alive with a ring and photograph until a lost ring and shifting love push her toward a new fiancé, Mr Simpson, while recounting how social and familial pressure shaped her choices.
Monica faces an engagement to Mr Simpson while Peter Polman returns from India and battles for her heart. Aunt Thomasina disapproves, the ring goes missing, and past romance resurfaces as Monica weighs a second chance with Peter against an arranged marriage to Simpson.
