Plot – Three young ladies of the middle class, Kate and Julia Morkan and their niece Mary Jane, organize the traditional dinner for Christmas. Gabriel Conroy, their nephew, and his wife Gretta are the main guests. He cares about who gets drunk too often, he cuts the roast goose and pronounces the official speech, while Gretta participates with a certain detachment. The conversation is lively and there's a lot of music. The evening is a success until it's time to leave.

“- Mary Jane: Are you an ornithologist as well?
- Bartell D'Arcy: An amateur. I suppose being a singer makes me susceptible to other creatures that sing. Birds are the most beautiful singers of all. Just think of the widow warbler and the wren.”“You have taken what is to the left of me, you have taken what is to the right of me, you have taken what is behind me, you have taken what is before me, and, it is my greatest fear, you have taken God from me.”
“I've never been able to relieve me-self in the presence of another. Otherwise, I'd have joined the army.”
