"The web of our life is of a mingled yarn,

good and ill together. Our virtues would be proud

if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes

would despair if they were not cherished by our

virtues." Lord Dumaine G 4.3.73-77

Helen is rejected by her choice, the nobleman Bertram, sending her on a determined — and complicated — quest to earn his devotion.
