The two avowed bachelors must now see what they will do with both new and old loves in their lives. He was upset over the death of his fiancée who had killed herself when his love for her had caused him to be cut off from his family’s fortune. Brown had jumped overboard a steamer to kill himself. When the time comes for Ruth to leave, Brown reveals his real name. Ruth and Brown swim together each day and grow closer. Emmeline thought Seth had put out to sea, but he tells her he had promised her long ago he’d give up sailing, even though he separated from her.
Seth had left her, changed his last name, and chose a hermit existence instead of putting up with Emmeline, who always told him he wasn’t much of a man. Seth accidentally meets up with Emmeline and they each are shocked to discover that they are married to each other.
However, Brown soon finds himself chatting and becoming attracted to Ruth. The two men literally hide from the women so as not to have to associate with females. That soon changes when Ruth, an attractive young woman, and Emmeline Bascom, her older housekeeper move in for the summer. It’s a lonely existence at the lighthouse with only an empty cabin next door. Both have a past they don’t discuss and both are heartbroken by women, though the details are not revealed at first. Set in 1917 on Cape Cod, Seth is a crusty, older lighthouse keeper, and Brown is a young man who literally washes ashore and becomes Seth’s assistant. THE LIGHTKEEPERS is a whimsical tale of two avowed “women haters” who must deal with two attractive women moving in next door for the summer.
