A thin-bodied apprentice courtesan, who finds refuge at her protector Etienne Balsans abode, among the loose women and party revellers. A lover who knows she'll never be "someone's wife", not even for Boy Capel, the man who nonetheless loves her. A rebel who feels stifled by the conventions of her time and wears her lovers' shirts.
