Robert Carter. The eldest daughter, Douglas, leads the conversation among her siblings as they learn from Dr. Wright, a new physician, that their father's condition necessitates a sea trip for recovery. This revelation sets off a chain of events, including the sisters’ reflections on their responsibilities at home while their parents are away.
