“I know that things of that kind always are known, and the people
I’ve been thrown with, sooner or later, always turned out to have
heard the story. Or if they hadn’t,” said Miss Marchrose in a
voice of calm despair, “someone took the trouble to tell them.”
Miss Marchrose is about to discover that she cannot escape her past
when she takes up a new position at a secretarial college in the
south west of England. Following insinuations dropped by the
director’s wife, she becomes the subject of a whispering campaign
which threatens her professional career and personal happiness.
Tension examines reputation and the persistence of gossip in
relation to a woman’s choice of work and domestic arrangements
with a light touch of humour. The two main female characters
represent the different roles of women in public life: Lady
Rossiter uses her social position to influence college matters,
while Miss Marchrose is a professional woman who brings
qualifications and experience to her role.
