Description

It's a chilly winter's evening in 1906 but nothing could dampen the high spirits of Constance Bannerman and her other skivvy, Nella. For tomorrow, Constance may avoid her life of boredom at Physician Sowerbyis house in Newcastle by marrying her partner, the affluent John Edington. But Constance's yesterday of servitude leads to horror once the physician's dissolute son, Gerald, strongly rapes her. Troubled, Constance marries John 24 hours later with huge heart.
