Synopsis/Details
Life is a busy adventure for the filthy rich Reynolds family. The estate is run by Graham Reynolds and his wife Ethel, and they have three daughters: Winifred, Daphne, and Phyllis Reynolds. The story starts out with Sir Reynolds finding out that WWI has broken out and that life will never be the same again. He must prepare his family and household staff for oncoming war. Soon enough there is a telegram announcing that a soldier named William "Billy" English has been utterly wounded and has no place to go but to Graceland Manor. Phyllis, the youngest is utterly astonished by the damage done to Billy English in the war and she refuses to let him die away alone. So she does the one thing nobody else dares to do--she stays with him every day until he is healed, tending to him desperately. Not only does he heal...but he falls in love.
