Tess and Ralph are secretly courting each other and meet in the countryside in Cambridge. They are both students at the University of Cambridge, although in different colleges. Tess is one of the first batch of female students allowed in to study at the university. Fraternization between male and female students is strictly forbidden, so they meet at night. Tess is a talented astronomer and the couple flirt with each other under the guide of an academic conversation.
