5 Male 4 Female

Beatie Bryant, daughter of farm laborers, works in London where she fell in love with Ronnie Kahn

She goes home and enthusiastically tells her family about his views on life

Ronnie is to visit the Bryants and everyone is eager, if skeptical, to meet him but he doesn't turn up

He writes that he doesn't think it would work

Ronnie's disillusionment has seeped into his relationship with Beatie

Stunned and under her mother's mockery Beatie stutters into a defence which becomes an attack on her stultifying background and blossoms into a vision of what could have been

And realizes she has found her own voice!
