The heroine who lost her husband is struggling to support the bookstore to make ends meet. The derailed aunt hopes that the old gentleman's admiration will indeed be exchanged for indignant contempt. No matter how delicate makeup and noble temperament are, they can't hide narrow-mindedness and contempt. Especially coaxing the general's husband to fabricate lies to deceive the heroine. The nephew's greed destroys the heroine's bookstore, and she will not lose a cent. The insidious and cunning neighbor tricked the hostess into hiring him to be a despicable traitor while the hostess went out and closed the door with a salary. The most sober of the whole play is Christie. The screenwriter skillfully revealed the appearance of all beings through the girl's innocence and cold-eyed onlookers. A bland and poignant movie.

  • Christine: You're so kind, Mrs. Green...

    [running away]

    Christine: You're so bloody kind.

  • Narrator: [Voice over] Mr. Brundish lived alone in the oldest house in Hardborough. He didn't particularly like his own company, but after long years of battle, he had reached a lasting truce with himself. He adored books with the same passion with which he detested his fellow men.
