The opening of the novel introduces Frank Linden, who is currently grappling with the responsibilities and disappointments that come with his newfound inheritance.

Meanwhile, Gertrude Baumhagen is introduced through her dynamics with her family, highlighting the pressures she faces as a wealthy young woman. Her character is portrayed as empathetic and longing for genuine connection, contrasting sharply with the societal expectations of marrying well.
