Plot summary
The year is 1911. Jessica Medlicott, a grande dame who once acted on the London stage, is sued for breach of promise. Her former fiancé, a man far younger than she is, says she courted him, agreed to marry him and then abandoned him, and he seeks £50,000 in damages. To defend her, Jessica engages Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones, the empire's greatest barrister. Forty years earlier, she seduced Arthur and left him, and he has loved her since. She claims not to remember him; he still feels the sting of her rejection.
