Five years after Aggie and Philip vowed to marry, he travels to Bombay to meet his promised bride now the osier of a mature woman. Aggie, aided by her mother, fears the change time has wrought yet hopes duty and love will prevail, while Philip confronts fear of loving the Aggie of today rather than the Aggie of eighteen. Freda Trevelyan challenges his resolve as the engagement proceeds toward a test of true affection.
