A three-act domestic comedy set at a country estate portrays a household that anxiously awaits the return of its absent benefactor. Sisters, a niece, a young student and servants become entangled in petty quarrels, teasing flirtations and disputes over decorum and gratitude to their host. Scenes pivot on misunderstandings, generational clashes about manners and courtship, and the strain between social obligation and individual feelings, while everyday rituals and small secrets lead the group toward reconciliation and clearer family ties.
