Synopsis

On Caroline's 18th birthday her parents realize they must tell her something: but what?

They themselves know very little about life.

Father is the headmaster of a small boys' school who treats mother like a good chap.

Mother for her part responds good naturedly to the harmless advances of the assistant headmaster, who is himself well over the hill.

Caroline is a strange and silent girl, but has been secretly growing up.

Before they can tell her anything, she tells them she is leaving to enter her own life.
