Madge Cohen does not regret her marriage to a man nearly twice her
age, but looks forward to the day she is able to remarry. Young and
lively, Madge was forced to marry Peter Cohen, a man nearly old
enough to be her grandfather. While his wealth affords Madge new
and greatly appreciated privileges, she finds Mr. Cohen to be
boring. While Madge dreams of all the exciting things she could do
with a younger husband, she decides to study music, so she can
channel her unspent energy into something other than daydreams.
Though Madge is forced to wait for love, she is happy to help find
it for her friends, especially Lance, Mr. Cohen's protege.
Determined to watch over Lance to ensure he does not make any
costly mistakes, Madge and Lance grow to be close friends who
support each other without conditions. However, when Lance becomes
fascinated with Miss. Shore, a mysterious and blunt woman, Madge
has her doubts. After Lance finds Miss Shore homeless and alone,
but oddly stoic, he asks Madge to help her, hoping to get to know
Miss Shore better. As a stubborn woman, Madge has a difficult time
discarding her original ill impression of Miss Shore. Still, she
agrees to help Lance grow closer to her, inviting Miss Shore to
stay in the Cohen manor for a time. As the arrangement unfolds,
Madge becomes increasingly concerned about the mysterious woman,
who seems to be completely haunted by a dark event in her past.
