1817 Hertfordshire, England
Is it fair that someone's appearance determines how we behave towards them?
Lillian is a thirty-year-old spinster whose father has recently died. She now lives alone and is more or less resigned to remaining single. Jonas is a widower with two young children and his own business. He has taken a fancy to Lillian, but the trouble is, he is not particularly good-looking, due mostly to his work as a roofer. Lillian wonders if she is desperate enough to encourage his interest or if she would be better off remaining a spinster?
