Polly Milton, a minister’s daughter from the country, comes to stay with the fashionable Shaw family in Boston and finds their children spoiled, bored and unkind to their grandmother. Six years later she returns to the city as a music teacher living on little money, and her simple ways meet the Shaws’ changing fortunes, Tom’s scrapes and Fanny’s disappointments.
