Bessie Fairfax is the daughter of Geoffry Fairfax and Elizabeth Bulmer, a young couple who made a love-match but had little money. When Geoffry inherits a rectory in Beechhurst, they move there with their daughter and lead a contented life. Tragically, Elizabeth dies soon after the birth of their second daughter, leaving Bessie's father to remarry twice more. When the rector dies, Bessie is taken in by the doctor of the town and his wife.
