Synopsis
Gerald Dombey confesses to his fiancée, Lady Susan Farrington, that while in southern England he has had an affair with a peasant girl, Vera Lypasht. Later, while motoring to Nice accompanied by his friend Christopher Went, he encounters Myrtile Sargot, a girl who has left home to escape parental abuse; eventually he persuades Lady Susan to give her refuge, though Susan is mistrustful of the arrangement. One night in a cafe, Gerald again meets Vera with her "brother" Luigi, and thereafter he continues to see her. When Gerald discovers that Luigi is her lover and that Christopher has fallen in love with Susan, he attempts suicide; but he is deterred when he realizes that he is in love with Myrtile.
