Set in 1777 New Hampshire, the story revolves around Mrs. Dudgeon, an elderly matron whose stern demeanor and hard life have earned her a reputation for piety among her neighbors. Despite her outward respectability, her bitter temperament and strict adherence to Puritan values mask a deeply licentious nature. Living in a community where self-denial is equated with goodness, Mrs. Dudgeon embodies the complexities of morality and societal expectations, revealing the ironies of virtue and vice in her world.
