Lucy is a proper young lady, but passion seethes beneath her demure demeanor. She and her chaperone, her older cousin Charlotte Bartlett, who is officious in a slyly-undermining way, travel to Florence, Italy for a week-long respite. They stay at the Pensione Bertolini, which is popular among British tourists. Among the disparate group of other British guests at the Pensione are Mr. Emerson, whom Charlotte considers vulgar because of his forwardness, and his son, bright but brooding George Emerson.
