In the hope that she would change her opinions and behave according to the set rules of society, her parents sent her to her wealthy grandmother.

At her maternal grandmother’s place, she develops a fondness for her childhood friend Harry Beecham which progressively increases with time. Upon knowing about their budding romance, her aunt Helen tells her to marry Harry for the sake of friendship and not love.
