A young man conceals aspects of his past while cultivating friendships and a romantic attachment; a practical older woman manages estate repairs and uncovers unsettling coincidences involving the Belassis name; missing documents, rivalries, and shifting alliances lead to plots and counterplots, journeys abroad, and eventual decisions about betrothal and loyalty.
