A Family Gathering

Description

Elizabeth, depressed about her own relationship, is less than cordial when James returns home with his fiancee in tow, a woman named Phyllis whom his parents feel is beneath his station. The family is gathered to celebrate Lady Marjorie's birthday, as well as James' homecoming and engagement, when a surprise visitor shows up, changing the mood of the festivities, and the night ends on a somber note when a phone call reveals devastating news.
