Believing Crispin dead, she flees Elvaston Castle and takes to the London stage. Crispin’s sudden return and his failure to recognize her as his wife bring untold unhappiness to Caroline. Their future is also threatened by Crispin’s haughty, widowed sister‑in‑law, Lady Eveline, who conspires to keep them apart.
