On their father s death, the Estate goes to their brother John who, encouraged his his wife, goes against his father s wishes of looking after his sisters and step-mother. They retire to a cottage in Devonshire, but not before Elinor and Edward Ferras become mutually attracted.

Each sister discovers that their suitors have become engaged to other women and the story centres on the different way they cope with this distress.
