An old woman looks back to the days of coaches and thrice-weekly posts, when she was a poor clergyman’s daughter taken into the household of Lady Ludlow at Hanbury Court. Her ladyship opposes Sunday schools, distrusts the new vicar and guards the old order, while within the story another unfolds of a French aristocrat named Clément and his love Virginie in Revolutionary Paris.
