Wells, or Bertie, as they call him. Bertie appears unremarkable at first. But then Dorothy notices his grey-blue eyes taking her in, openly signalling approval.He tells her he and Jane have an agreement which allows them the freedom to take lovers, although Dorothy can tell her friend would not be happy with that arrangement.Not wanting to betray Jane, yet unable to draw back Dorothy free-falls into an affair with Bertie.Then a new boarder arrives at the house- beautiful Veronica Leslie-Jones-and Dorothy finds herself caught between Veronica and Bertie.Amidst the personal dramas and wreckage of a militant suffragette march, Dorothy finds her voice as a writer.
