Family in the year 1850
The Whitmores' mansion, located on the outskirts of Bath, reflects both the splendour of a bygone era and the tensions of an uncertain present. The patriarch, General Arthur Whitmore, retired after years of service in the colonial campaigns, carries the weight of military discipline and the frustration of seeing how his sons seem to disengage from family responsibilities. His son, Edward Whitmore, a young man with a rebellious spirit, spends his nights in taverns and bars, squandering money and reputation, showing no interest in legacy or duty. His daughter, nineteen-year-old Clara Whitmore, is at the age when society expects her to think about marriage, but her distant gaze and lack of enthusiasm for suitors baffle her father and worry her mother. The general's wife, Margaret Whitmore, a woman of serene temper and faithful to Victorian customs, tries to keep the peace in the home. Although he defends the ideas of the time.
