A Victorian tale follows Miss Ladybird and her horse Firefly as they ride across meadowlands toward a hopeful bridal future. Fate intervenes when a planned runaway leads to heartbreak, with vivid, prophetic musings on love and consequence.
Miss Ellen Thornycroft laments Ladybird's wild ways as the young woman plans a brisk departure to town. Grandfather Thornycroft defends her spirit, while Ladybird dashes off on a gallop to fetch mail, chocolates, and marshmallows, leaving behind a torn family scene and hopeful mystery.
Ladybird waits for an excursion train and reads a sharp letter from Miss Allston Moore announcing a summer stay at Locust Hill. The news unsettles Ladybird as she overhears an aunt and father discussing Harry Templeton, stoking jealousy amid social tensions.
