Nurse Hester Latterly finds herself well-suited for the position: accompany Mrs. Mary Farraline, an elderly Scottish lady with delicate health, on a short train trip to London.

He can only try to direct her Scottish lawyer from the frustrating sidelines, and pray that Hester will not be sent to the gallows...
