The Scott family seem nice enough. They are civil, clever, hard working, and popular. True, Charles's wife, the daughter of an impoverished peer, has inherited a set of prejudices which, though unattractive, might have done little harm in the ordinary way. The ordinary way, however, comes to an end with the arrival of Mrs. Schultz and these prejudices shatter the family's unity. They are prejudices about race, about nationality, and even about surnames.
The emotional storms among the younger members of the household show that, beneath their charm, there lurk passions quite as strong as those that shook their elders. Norah is for taking the money and the consequences; Andrew, thinking of his father's reputation, is against it; Elsa, the German companion-help, indulges in dramatics; Ginny indulges in hysterics. Only dear old Mrs. Schultz remains benevolent.
It is Charles who has to decide. On the one hand, wealth would make all the difference to his family; on the other, the terms on which it is offered would make all the difference to himself Where there's a will, lawyers find, there's a way. In this case, the way is unpopular.
