Jane Benson is a lowly Yorkshire girl who lives simply, caring for her elderly, ailing uncle and not wishing for anything more. She takes a fancy to local doctor Freddie Jarvis, and she persuades him to marry her. Jane soon learns that she has inherited £18 million. She wants to travel across Europe with Freddie, but he wants to stay because he is dedicated to his patients.^[2] Jane leaves for Europe without Freddie and is followed by many suitors. Back in Yorkshire, Freddie becomes notorious as the man who declined £18 million, and the infamy hampers his ability to perform serious research.^[3]
