The story hinges on the lives of its central characters, Mr. Vanborough and Anne Silvester, revealing the struggles they face due to societal constraints and personal decisions. As their paths intertwine over the course of the narrative, the characters navigate their relationships against the backdrop of the era's moral landscape. At the start of the novel, two girls, Blanche and Anne, are seen parting ways on a ship bound for India and England, respectively.

The subsequent dinner scene introduces Mr. Vanborough, his wife, and a guest, Mr. Kendrew, where underlying tensions hint at Mr. Vanborough's dissatisfaction with his marriage.
