- In early Victorian times, young Philip Ashley lives an idyllic life on a grand estate in rural Cornwall owned by his beloved guardian and cousin, Ambrose. When he receives word that Ambrose has suddenly married a distant cousin in Italy, and is now gravely ill, he travels to Italy; only to find his cousin is mysteriously dead and his new wife is missing.
- After Cousin Rachel's unexpected visit to the Ashley estate, Philip's initial hostility starts to fade, and he becomes increasingly fond of her. He grants her a generous allowance from the estate and urges her to stay permanently.
- Rachel settles into the Ashley estate and spends lavishly. Another, unsigned will surfaces, as well as an accusation against Rachel. Philip has fallen under the spell of his cousin Rachel and makes a rash decision on his 25th birthday.
- After becoming deathly ill, Philipe wakes up to find that Rachel is spending time with Rainaldi. Progress proceeds on the water garden, including a bridge across the steep gorge. Rachel secretly plans to return to Italy.
