Late and Soon

It's 1943 and Valentine Arbell, middle-aged and widowed, lives in a big country house with her vivacious and delightful younger brother, General Levallois. Her daughter, Primrose, spends most of her time in London where she attracts endless admirers. When some soldiers are billeted at the house, Valentine's memory is triggered by a Colonel Lonergan due to be staying. In her youth in France, Valentine enjoyed a brief love affair -- ended by her parents -- with a young Irish artist names Rory Lonergan. On meeting Colonel Lonergan, she is pleasantly surprised to find that he is her lost lover from so many years before.
