The charwoman now appeared at the door with her pail of hot water. Margaret looked into her face, as if to read guilt or innocence. She was a protegee of Christie's, who was not apt to accord her favour easily, or without good grounds; an honest, decent widow, with a large family to maintain by her labour -- that was the character in which Margaret had engaged her; and she looked it.

The tale opens with Margret Frazer announcing her engagement to Dr James Brown. The receiver of this news is Margret’s uncle. Despite his disapproval in her choice of husband, owing to James’s ambiguous family history and believing Margret to be marrying below her station, she intends marrying James regardless.
The couple marry sooner than planned, resulting in tight money difficulties. At length this becomes a worsening problem, especially when James forgets to lock his bureau one night and discovers the next morning that the money he stored there overnight is missing. ( )
