Laura Haverstock goes to see her doctor in Harley Street and is told that she needs to have an operation.
She is worried because her husband of nine months has arranged everything to go to Scotland with his old friends, and Laura doesn't want him to cancel. That is why she goes to see Phyllis, her aunt, who raised her after her parents died. Laura thinks that she can stay with Phyllis but the latter tells her that she has plans to go away, so Laura needs to have an alternative plan.
Laura's husband is Alec. He has an ex-wife and a daughter who live in America. Alec married Erica, who he met in Japan, but married life was not to Erica's liking, and even her daughter meant a burden for her. Erica loves her horses and she even made Alec buy her a house in the country. Then she became friends with an American horse breeder, Strickland, and I imagine he is the man she leaves Alec for. At present Erica and Gabriel, Alec's daughter, are in America, and Alec is unhappy as Erica has stopped all communications between Alec and Gabriel.
