 With the newlyweds away, Richard welcomes his mother-in-law, Lady Southwold and her ward, Miss Georgina Worsley to Eaton Place for a quiet Christmas. The teen-aged Georgina befriends her contemporary, the new house parlor maid, Daisy Peel. Georgina is deeply moved by Daisy s sad recollections of her impoverished family in London s East End. With good intentions and a sense of adventure, Georgina enlists Daisy to raid the Bellamy pantry and bring Yuletide cheer to Daisy s family in Hoxton. Upon arrival, Georgina is shocked by the squalor she encounters and, back at Eaton Place, Richard and Lady Southwold are very worried that the pair have gone missing. Despite considerable scolding upon their safe return, Georgina and Daisy have the true meaning of Christmas in their heart.
