Craven Arms
Artist David Masterman has the pleasure of teaching an art class to a group of lovely young women. Three in particular are of interest to him: Ianthe and Katherine Forrest, who have little artistic talent but are both quite attractive, and Julia Tern, whose talents in some areas match his own. There are few young men around as it's just after World War I — and mores are changing. Masterman doesn't see himself as having the temperament to settle down with just one woman, but when one leaves for several months, he wonders if he has fallen in love.
