The story centers around the Gordon family, particularly the character of Elizabeth, who is a lively ten-and-a-half-year-old girl navigating the responsibilities and expectations of her family while also dealing with her own spirited nature. As the family dynamics unfold, themes of duty, genteel aspirations, and the struggle between societal expectations and personal freedom emerge. The opening of the novel introduces Miss Margaret Gordon, who is taking care of her eight orphaned nephews and nieces in their family home. It establishes the household's routine as Miss Gordon darns socks while keeping an eye on the children, particularly on her favorite niece, Annie, who is becoming involved with the local schoolteacher. Through Margaret's observations and struggles with homesickness, the reader gains insight into her character—a woman burdened by responsibility yet fond of her family. The introduction also hints at Elizabeth's mischievous spirit, her connection to her family, and hints of her erratic behavior, all of which suggest that her youthful energy will play a significant role in the unfolding narrative.
