Edgerton is "the inheritance" of the title, a magnificent estate that has been in the Chandler family for 400 years. The present master is Harry Chandler, charming, handsome, and a serial philanderer. His wife, Felicity, does her best to ignore his behavior and carry on, but when Harry senses she is at the breaking point, he ends the affair and reels Felicity back in.
