Lady Selina, a superb specimen of the English châtelaine, is managing a large estate while trying to please everyone, though it's horribly difficult. Her late husband, the Squire of Upworthy, had left her everything during her lifetime, and she tries to continue to carry on his work in his name. But when Mr. Goodrich arrives early for her fête, she senses that he has something unpleasant to tell her.
