self-control is the desperate need to love and be loved in return.

Unable to work any longer for his tyrant of a brother William has left the Mill. With no job and no prospects he finds himself in Belgium on Hunsden's advice, seeking work. But how will he fare?

William feels he has found his natural place. A gifted teacher, he is happy and content. He finds further work in the neighbouring school for girls. The very same place he has heard a laughing voice, an enchanting ringing laugh.
