The opening of the novel introduces Richard Comstalk, who, after returning to New York, becomes caught up in the allure of a masquerade dance hosted by the Blankshire Hunt Club. This enchanting event captivates him, and he decides to join, even creating a disguise as a Grey Capuchin monk. As he navigates this new social world, he encounters the beautiful Blue Domino, who sparks his interest and curiosity. However, their light-hearted banter and flirtation are interrupted by the unsettling revelation of a theft occurring during the festivities.
