Mr. King pointed to the spot where he and his brother had once pitched their tent and to a bank that had once been covered with violets. He talked of his mother's bed of lilies-of-the-valley.

A large part of the picture merely shows Mr. Farrar's mother (Barbara Everest), political-minded aunt (Flora Robson) and fellow townsmen slowly getting used to the obvious.
