A middle-class lady Lucy travels abroad to expand her knowledge and encounters George, a low-class clerk. George, who loves books and draws romantic ideas, pursues Lucy fiercely, even reckless and offensive.
Lucy and her cousin, the old lady Charlotte, return halfway for Lucy's innocent reputation.
After returning home, Lucy got engaged to the musician Sisso, who matched their status and shared a common interest in music.
But Hisoka was arrogant, distanced himself from Lucy's mother, and despised Lucy's younger brother Freddie's musical aesthetic, causing their dissatisfaction.
The awkwardness and failure of their first kiss reminded Lucy of George's passionate and powerful kiss.
George also came to Lucy unexpectedly and continued to express his feelings. Although Lucy refused strictly, her heart was shaken. And then broke off with Hisoka, sad to escape.
With the encouragement and advice of her cousin and George's father, Lucy and George eloped to the old place to revisit, and the lovers finally got married.
This can be said to be an elopement at the instigation of the family, and the sincerity of George and his son has won the favor of Lucy's mother. George's unscrupulous, youthful vigor is also very close to Lucy's younger brother, and even the old lady Charlotte is more inclined to promote two people with true love based on her early encounters, and even Pastor Bieber praised Lucy's divorce. The true temperament between people is more valued, and the etiquette that regulates people is ridiculed and disgusted.
Instead, Lucy was the one who finally got rid of class prejudice and etiquette constraints and faced her inner emotions. Being a lady is a condition for her to get a good marriage, and her behavior must conform to the code of conduct of a lady. Her mother was only taunting Lucy's plans to go to London to find work as an independent woman. Lucy's energy, enthusiasm, and unwillingness to be bound by the rules keep her out of Pastor Bieber's companionship on solo trips, scuffles with her younger brother, and even wild swimming. The rules taught by upbringing are the right match, and that kind of life pattern can be seen. What you get from experience is your inner feelings. Such people are not familiar with them, and their future living conditions are also unpredictable. Whether to follow upbringing or follow the heart requires consideration and struggle. Because following your heart means taking risks. Lucy's rejection of George was an inner struggle, and it took everyone's encouragement to get her out of the prison.
It's a work without villains, and even if Hisoka is arrogant, pretentious, hypocritical, and repulsive, it's still very gentlemanly when it comes to dealing with divorce. No anger, blame, entanglement, sadness just tying your shoelaces.
