The Dunbar sisters face the marriage market under the eye of a shrewd uncle, among the visitors and fortune-hunters of Harrogate. Each chooses differently between vanity and principle, flirtation and real affection, while the witty, teasing exchanges between suitors and heroines carry a firm moral about what a good marriage requires.
