In 1813, 54-year-old widower Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, Somerset reviews his entry in the list of nobles in order to take his mind off his troubles. He has overspent his income and is deep in debt. His daughter Mary is insulated from the crisis because she is married but it impacts the lives of his unmarried daughters, Elizabeth and Anne. Sir Walter dotes on Elizabeth but ignores Anne. In this episode, Lady Russell and Anne devise a plan to help Sir Walter repay the debts. The family will rent out the hall and relocate to Bath, where they can live on a smaller budget. Sir Walter and Elizabeth want to bring Mrs. Clay, Mr. Shepherd’s daughter, with them to Bath.
