The story

In the 1870s, New York City is dominated by a community of old-money families whose lives are guided by strict codes of conduct.

Due to high society's rigid standards, Ellen's conduct is considered particularly scandalous, so she is initially ostracized.

Julius begins flirting with Ellen but meets his (social) end when the New York elite — sick of his indiscretions — refuses to bail him out during a financial panic.
