The mutual attraction is instant and she invites him to join her fathers celebration of the end of the war in Europe.

Unlike most drifters, he never grew out of it raising his two daughters to desire such a lifestyle. Helen takes after her father and uses her beauty to sustain a life of luxury even though they are flat broke. Marion goes the other way and looks for seriousminded and conventional young men such as Claude, an aspiring prosecutor, and Charles, the future novelist. ........
