The master of the house often flies into rages and can only be soothed when his sister dips into her medicine box. When she arrives, there are ample clues that things are not right. She has no one else to turn to to help her make her way in the world, so she takes a position as a trainee housekeeper at a remote Yorkshire country house called White Windows.
