Even amid the genteel grandeur of Venice, the Marquis of
Wynchcombe's ennui is undiminished. His fiery mistress Francesca, a
beautiful and flamboyant Venetian actress, bores him almost as much
as the company of the Beau Monde and royal acolyte with whom he
associates. So when an impoverished but delicately alluring young
Englishwoman - Lucia - accosts him at a cafe and beseeches him to
peruse the painting of her dying father, he is intrigued - more so
when he realises that Lucia's father is a genius... But then he
dies. Lucia is distraught and destitute but the Marquis saves her
from penury by buying her father's every painting, promising to
take her home to England. Enraged by her beau's apparent
infatuation with the young ingenue, Francesca stabs him with a
stiletto... But it's Lucia who has truly pierced his heart and
stolen his soul - and just as the Marquis thinks she will be his
forever, she delivers the heartbreaking words: 'Although I love you
with all my heart I cannot be your wife...'
