The story revolves around societal expectations regarding love and marriage, highlighting the struggles of the main character, Constance Durant, who, despite her wealth and social standing, grapples with the pressures of familial obligations and romantic entanglements. The novel intricately explores themes of love, duty, and the complexities of matchmaking. The narrative centers on Constance Durant, a young woman navigating the social expectations of her time, particularly regarding her reluctance to marry without love. Her stepmother, Mrs. Durant, is frustrated by Constance's disinterest in the eligible suitors around her, which she believes hampers the prospects of her own daughters, Muriel and Doris. Amidst this backdrop, Constance's interactions with a street urchin named Swot and a dedicated doctor, Dr. Armstrong, develop into a heartfelt connection. The plot intensifies as Constance finds herself increasingly drawn to Dr. Armstrong, leading to a poignant exploration of class, compassion, and the transformative power of love upon meeting Swot again for Christmas, where they all come together in a weaving of parties, gifts, and new beginnings.
