The story centers around the main character, Tom Gerrard, who is a cattleman returning to see his niece, Mary Incubus, after the tragic loss of his family. The book explores themes of family connection, childhood innocence, and the contrasts of rural life in Australia. At the start of the narrative, Tom Gerrard encounters his young niece, Mary, while she is collecting pippies on the beach. Their conversation reveals the child's innocence and her complex relationship with her austere aunt, Elizabeth Westonley. As Gerrard bonds with Mary, he reflects on the neglect she faces at home under her aunt's strict and unloving care. The initial chapters introduce not only the primary characters but also hint at the familial tensions and social dynamics that will likely unfold throughout the story.
