It's the mid-nineteenth century. Adult siblings Felix Young and Eugenia Munster were born and raised in Europe and have a somewhat bohemian lifestyle reflective of their travels throughout Europe. Felix, who has little money, is interested in painting and the arts. Eugenia is a baroness by marriage. They decide to travel to New England to meet their maternal uncle and their three cousins, the Wentworths, for the first time, the Wentworths who live just outside of Boston. The Wentworths are highly puritanical, the uncle in particular who looks to a neighbor, Mr. Brand, to provide a moral compass to his three children, especially the shy Gertrude, who Mr. Brand wants to marry. The Wentworths are somewhat suspicious as to the reason for their relatives' visit, but nonetheless the uncle puts them up in a neighboring house on their property. While Felix enjoys the company of his cousins - especially Gertrude - Eugenia is a bit more standoffish and cognizant of the real reason for their trip to the United States. For Eugenia, another of their uncle's cousins, a Mr. Robert Acton, may just fit the bill related to her goal, which concerns her current marriage and financial security. 　　译文(2): 现在是19世纪中【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。成年的兄弟姐妹 Felix Young 和 Eugenia Munster 在欧洲出生和长大，他们的生活方式有点波西米亚风格，反映了他们在欧洲的旅行。费利克斯没什么钱，他对绘画和艺术感兴趣。尤金妮亚是男爵夫人。他们决定到新英格兰去见他们的舅舅和他们的三个堂兄弟，第一次见到了住在波士顿郊外的温特沃斯一家。温特沃斯一家是非常严格的清教徒，特别是那位寄希望于邻居布兰德先生来为他的三个孩子提供道德指南针的叔叔，特别是害羞的格特鲁德，布兰德先生想要娶她为妻。温特沃斯夫妇对他们的亲戚来访的原因有些怀疑，但尽管如此，叔叔还是把他们安置在他们家附近的房子里。尽管菲利克斯喜欢和他的表姐妹们——尤其是格特鲁德——在一起，尤金妮亚却有点冷淡，她知道他们来美国的真正原因。对于尤金妮亚来说，他们叔叔的另一个堂兄弟，罗伯特 · 阿克顿先生，可能正好符合与她的目标有关的条件，这关系到她目前的婚姻和经济安全。
