The story

In 1907, a young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch, and her much older cousin and chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett, stay at the Pensione Bertolini while on holiday in Florence.

Emerson and George offer to exchange rooms, though Charlotte considers the suggestion indelicate.

The carriage driver canoodles with his girlfriend, sitting beside him, which upsets Reverend Eager, who insists the girlfriend get off the carriage in the middle of the countryside.
