With her two children half-blind Willy and her adopted daughter Josefina Tilly returns to Highfield Manor where she'd started her life working as a nursemaid all those years ago. But Tilly is now a rich woman with Highfield the estate and mine all hers. At 35 she is white-haired but as spirited and as magnetic to men as ever.
