A three-act domestic drama depicts a rural household coping with poverty, illness, and moral anxiety as a young daughter is set to leave for factory work. Intimate domestic scenes show questions of faith, parental worry, and small pleasures, while interactions with factory employees and a nearby manor reveal social contrasts and tensions. Spanning a five-year interval between acts, the play follows the effects of industrial labor on family life, shifting fortunes, and fraught relations between working people and landowning neighbors.
