In a wartime Anglo-Irish country house, a footman rises to butler when the old one dies, and quietly courts a housemaid while petty thefts and a missing ring go unnoticed upstairs. The two of them slip off to Ireland to marry.

Once upon a day an old butler called Eldon lay dying in his room attended by the head housemaid, Miss Agatha Burch.
