It is now three months since Edgar Gunter died, and Mary, his widow, has advertised the sale of his old clothes. Through this innocent action she finds she has outraged his two devoted sisters, who live with her, and who are obviously becoming increasingly resentful that she should ever recover form her bereavement. When Guy Rowden, a middle-aged widower, calls to see the clothes a first-class row blows up between Mary and her two sisters-in-law. The clothes do not fit, but Mary and Guy soon find themselves slipping into genial conversation; she gives him a dressing-gown and he goes out to buy her flowers. It is not long before Mary sees where her future lies.
