A play by Alfred Sangster
The action takes place in the parlour at Haworth Parsonage, the salon of the Pensionnat Heger, the offices of Smith, Elder and Co., Cornhill, London, and covers a period from 1841 to 1860.
In the apocryphal meeting of Charlotte and Anne with Thackeray and Lewes, the author hopes to be forgiven for juggling a little with the dates of some of the publications referred to.

(Charles Lloyd Pack is appearing in "The Man in the Street," Dorothy Gordon is appearing in "Life with Father," R. Stuart Lindsell appears by permission of Sir Alexander Korda)
