This is a study of temperament, or rather, of two temperaments. Miles Beecham is a good deal older than Sarah Adamson; he it wealthy, kindly, considerate, highly cultured, and (he well knows) a little ridiculous. He lives in an ordered world of success, with his club and comfortable house in Hampstead - where he is surrounded by his beloved objets d'art.
She, on the other hand, is impulsive, forthright, irrational; she hankers for excitement, likes to drive a car, wants to learn to fly. You might say they had little in common, save that both of them mean well, but Miles has fallen in love with Sarah, and for reasons which the play explains (and which are by no means to her discredit) she has agreed to marry him. Perhaps, as Sarah's mother hopes, it will work out tolerably well; but when a young man turns up unexpectedly out of the blue, it is as much the difference in their temperaments as in their ages that causes Miles and Sarah so much suffering.
