A weathered Riverside Drive scene unfolds with Grace Allan as an idle, introspective observer: a lone bench, sailors nearby, and a ship captain who chats about travel, caste, and distant ports, provoking Grace to dream of empires beyond New York while confronting gender norms.
Grace Allen dreams of romance and distant shores as a ferry captain, a professor, and Bill Hanley swirl through her New York world. She clings to a promised letter from the sea captain, faces boredom with Bill, and longs for travel beyond the city walls and the imagined Orient.
