Hester, a novelist, lives with her judgmental brother, the pompous vicar of the fictional village of Warpington. Hesters brother disapproves of her writing and eventually burns the manuscript of a novel she has been writing. This leads Hester into a prolonged nervous illness. Scarlett who has not been entirely frank with Rachel about his past commits suicide when his dishonourable behaviour is revealed to her and she breaks off their engagement.
