Mrs. Gereth is convinced that Fleda Vetch would make the perfect daughter-in-law.

Owen Gereth, however, has inconveniently become engaged to the uncultured Mona Brigstock.
As a dramatic family quarrel unfolds, the hesitating Fleda is drawn in, yet she remains reluctant to captivate Owen, who seems as attracted to her as she is to him.
