The heroine, Robin Brilliant, owner of a house and estate called Great Fanne, is in love with a young squire who lives close by at Lesser Fanne. The two are admirably suited to one another and the neighborhood expects they should marry. A complication arises, however, in the shape of a pretty young woman of inferior position and scheming disposition who arrives from Paris with her mother, a boarding house keeper who has recently come into an unexpected fortune and is retiring to the English village in which she passed her youth. As her daughter maneuvers to win away Robin's lover's affections, Robin appears almost too proud to reach out to keep him and he may be too weak to stick by her without help.
