The story unfolds in Paris and revolves around a mix of humorous and romantic encounters during a rainy day. The central character, Bengali, is a lively young man who navigates through a series of comedic events and interactions with various individuals, including a charming young woman named Georgette, whilst seeking to charm her under the pretense of offering shelter from the rain. At the start of the novel, we find ourselves in a bustling Parisian scene characterized by the chaos of people trying to escape a downpour. Bengali is introduced as he interacts with a flustered concierge and other colorful characters trying to find a way to stay dry. The narrative is filled with witty dialogue and observations about society, love, and the human condition, highlighting Bengali's light-hearted attempts to win Georgette's affection as well as his amusing perspectives on the situations around him. The opening sets a lively tone, promising a blend of comedy and romance as Bengali pursues Georgette amidst the absurdities of urban life in rain-soaked Paris.
