Charlotte Verrinder has just arrived to visit her newlywed sister Agatha Posket. Charlotte herself is overjoyed to be engaged to Horace Vale, and is looking forward to sharing her happiness with Agatha. However, Agatha has a burden - she lied to Mr. Posket about her age, claiming that she is 31 years old, when she is actually 36. Agatha turns to Charlotte for advice on what to do, especially since her son Cis is clearly older than 14 - both in size and behavior.
