The story centers around the Tudor family, particularly the elder siblings Elsa and Frances, as they navigate family dynamics involving their younger brother, Geoffrey, amidst their mother's worries about financial troubles. The whimsical yet authoritative figure of Great-Uncle Hoot-Toot looms in the background, indicating that he will play a crucial role in their lives. At the start of the narrative, the family is in a state of turmoil as they face the potential loss of their financial stability. The opening chapter introduces Geoffrey as a boy plagued by selfishness and moodiness, causing strain in familial relationships. His sisters take on the responsibilities of managing the household and their mother’s emotions. The tension escalates with Geoffrey's perceived neglect and their mother's preoccupation with letters and unwelcome news. As tensions rise, the stage is set for the arrival of Great-Uncle Hoot-Toot, whose wisdom and unusual ways promise to shake things up in the Tudor household and potentially help guide Geoffrey towards better behavior.
