Walter Gresham tends to be an excitable young man at any time, but at the moment he feels he has good cause to be so. Why should his fiancée, a charming and apparently level-headed girl called Dorothy Faringay, suddenly go off without warning to St. Moritz? And why, now that she has returned, should she be so enigmatic about the whole trip? Is it possible that over there she met somebody else? Poor Walter is quite flummoxed, and Dorothy's aunt, Mrs. Debney, is no help at all when it comes to explaining what happened at St. Moritz; she merely shrugs her shoulders and says that this is 1909 "when young ladies from the best families assault policemen". Walter decides that Dorothy's conduct is uite unreasonable, and also heartless, since her brother, Arnold, to whom she is devoted, happens to have got himself into a serious scrape. But had Walter reflected a little longer it might have occurred to him that it was precisely because of Arnold that Dorothy went to Switzerland, and this play by a neglected author shows to what lengths a sister may go in the attempt to save her brother's reputation.
