The story introduces us to Percival Hascombe, a young English aristocrat who, after being jilted by his fiancée, embarks on a journey to America and then to Asia, seeking refuge and anonymity from societal expectations. The narrative explores themes of love, identity, and social class as Percival navigates new experiences on board a Pacific liner, encountering various characters who challenge his aloof demeanor. The opening of the novel sets the scene as Percival boards the Pacific liner in San Francisco, displaying a mix of ennui and self-importance. Despite his attempts at aloofness, he is soon drawn into the lively interactions and tumultuous emotions of the fellow passengers, especially a young American girl named Bobby Boynton. As he reflects on his past heartbreak, Percival's encounter with Bobby, who embodies youthful vitality and spontaneity, begins to alter his perspective on life and love. The stage is set for a transformative journey as Percival balances his aristocratic disposition with the vibrant world of the everyday people he meets aboard the ship.
