Longtime acquaintances recall Etta's vow to marry, while Lord Carlton and others observe flirtations, rivalries, and a wealth of social maneuvering among Et ta, Laurence, Lady Etta and a bevy of guests at a glamorous gathering.
In a brisk, era tone tale set amid London society, Etta flirts with Lord Carlton while pursued by Laurence Carlton. Etta resists marriage to Jim, choosing freedom after heartbreak, aided by Mrs Weedon and the social theatrics of the season. A letter from Carlton offers escape and closure as Etta asserts independence.
