Lucy and her cousin came to Italy for vacation, hoping to have a room with a view, but the result was not satisfactory. Emerson and his son offered to give their room to them, and this warm-hearted behavior seemed to annoy Lucy, who was born in the British upper class. The cousin kept a close watch on Lucy, fearing that she would do something that was inconsistent with her status. But as she got to know them better, Lucy seemed to have a good impression of Emerson and his son. Facing her feelings, Lucy fell into deep contradiction. The trip to Italy ended unhappily, but it planted a seed in Lucy's heart. Later, Lucy got engaged to Cecil, but she could not forget Emerson. At the last moment, Lucy bravely broke through the many class barriers set up by conservative British society and decided to live for herself.
