The story revolves around the life of a young, talented artist named Geoffrey Cliffe, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the art world. He falls in love with a beautiful and mysterious woman named Marie, who becomes his muse and inspiration for his paintings. However, Marie is guarded by a strict and overbearing duenna, who is determined to keep her charge away from the distractions of love and romance. As Geoffrey tries to win Marie's heart, he must also navigate the challenges posed by the duenna and the social norms of Victorian England.
