Lillia Herriton
Widowed and unhappily stuck in England with the family of her dead husband, Lilia is thrilled when the opportunity to travel to Italy with her friend Caroline Abbott arrives. She even meets a new guy: Gino Carella and gets pregnant. Things go downhill from there.
Philip Herriton
Not Lilila’s dead husband, but his brother. He is charged with going after Lilia to bring her home before she makes the mistake of marrying Gino. He is too late, but is forced to make a return trip when circumstances allow him to instead bring back her child. While there, he falls in love himself with the lovely Caroline Abbott. Things go downhill from there.
Gino Carella
The man who marries Lilia and then steals Caroline away from Philip is poor and rather crass. What’s with all the attention from British women? He has a physique not unlike those sported by the marble statues carved by great artists. After the death of Lilia, he becomes completely devoted to their son. Things go downhill from there.
Harriet Herriton
Lilia’s sister who concoct the scheme to send Philip back to Italy to kidnap the baby and bring it back home. Things go downhill from there.
