You are Vita Sackville West, the lively and elegant British heiress who is married to the Foreign Office diplomat, Harold Nicholson. You are in love with Violet Trefusis, a woman from a family not unused to scandal; Violet's mother had been the mistress of King Edward.
The year is 1918. Though both you and Violet have remarkably understanding husbands, it still remains a fact that in order for you to spend anything more than fleeting moments together, you and your lover must create the most elaborate of ruses. Some of these can be rather fun, however, and you look forward to the coming weekend's scenario with particular relish. You will dress as a man and accompany your lover by train to the sea-side town of Folkestone. There you will spend the weekend at a quiet inn, and whenever you appear outside your room you will do so in your role as Julian North. Both you and Violet are aching for the freedom to move about and act like lovers, to pretend for even a short while that yours is a world where you can love as you choose. You are also both excited by the prospect of pulling off such a gigantic charade, and only hope you can stay out of the bedroom long enough to show off what a handsome, well-bred couple you are.
You and Violet head off for Folkestone on the train. You are dressed as a gentleman and very much look the part with your well-cut clothes and strong, clear features. You sport a small beard to divert attention from your fair skin, a wig to cover your long curls, and gloves to hide your small, feminine hands. In all other ways you are most natural in the masculine role. You laugh boisterously, flirt with and tease Violet, and handle her with a relaxed but possessive hand, to which Violet responds most gaily. You are both deliriously happy.
So begins this very unusual adventure.
