Julian Robinson lives as a hermaphrodite, half man, half woman, in the house of his strict Mademoiselle. At times, he shows his feminine side at the mistress's request, must wear women's clothing as Julia, and is offered to Lord Ridlington to be deflowered. However, his gender also holds a secret. His governess disciplines him: first, he is allowed to prove his male potency as Julian to the three sweet sisters Agnes, Maud, and Beatrice, and then the Mademoiselle uses a candle to humiliate him severely. Julia(n) is torn between his dual gender identity. He loves wearing girls' dresses but also enjoys the masculine side of his sexuality! And for his mistress, it is clear: I am determined to combat and tame your originally aggressive masculinity by nurturing the delicate aspect of your being.
