Cynthia confirms her middle-aged spinsterhood by donning a cap and taking in a stray kitten she calls Teacup.
But no sooner has she done so, than a man literally falls at her feet. Not in adoration, it must be admitted, but because he is deathly ill. So in comes her second stray, a person her cook describes as that dirty old tramp.
She gently nurses him back to health, and once he is cleaned up, the dirty old tramp is revealed as a handsome young gentleman at least ten years younger than she.
