Here Galsworthy is close to the very first book in his Forsyte Saga and of Forsyte Chronicles, and in the last one of Forsyte Chronicles, with the exception that the young woman involved is the daughter, Joy, of the married woman here, instead of the niece by marriage that she was in first book of Forsyte Saga - Forsyte Chronicles; in the last one of Forsyte Chronicles, Galsworthy made it simpler with no younger woman involved in the situation

Joy is slightly more fortunate in being loved, unlike the niece June in Forsyte Saga - Forsyte Chronicles, who lost her fiance to her aunt, and remained single.

"DICK. But it does. The thing is to look at it as if it was n't yourself. If it had been you and me in love, Joy, and it was wrong, like them, of course [ruefully] I know you'd have decided right. [Fiercely.] But I swear I should have decided wrong. [Triumphantly.] That 's why I feel I understand your Mother."

"JOY. [In a whisper.] Dick, is love always like this? 

"DICK. [Putting his arms around her, with conviction.] It's never been like this before. It's you and me!"
