Constance Wynchcomb, the companion to Lady Caddick-Boyle, is traveling to Kent when their motor breaks down. An old-fashioned coach and four stops and a gentleman passenger named Evan Galsworthy offers his help. Evan is visiting his mentor, Bishop Oswald Kingsley. His mother died at his birth and he seeks the whereabouts of his father. He's sure the bishop can tell him, but the bishop says no. Evan finds Constance desirable and asks to court her.
Her ladyship is suspicious of his intentions and hires an agent of inquiry, who uncovers Evan's secret past. Times have changed in the age of the Edwardians and Constance follows her heart. She accepts Evan's offer of marriage despite his dodgy family history. Her family and Lady Caddick-Boyle refuse to attend the wedding. When the bishop dies, Evan discovers his father's identity in the man's private papers and is devastated to learn of his shocking origin.
There is no way he can marry Constance. Jilted on her wedding day, Constance returns to the employ of Lady Caddick-Boyle. Constance must decide whether to stay with her ladyship or find out why Evan disappeared. What would a sensible girl do?
