In May near Kilmany, tenant Tom O Carrol and wife Mary face eviction and poverty.

A young woman answering a dining room job ad impresses the house mistress with her practical answer to a hypothetical mishap. When asked how she would handle a dropped steak, the candidate asks if boarders are present and then declares to pick it up and return it to the plate. She was engaged.
