At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to a diverse group of train passengers, each with their own backgrounds and stories. Particularly significant is the exchange between Brockway and Mrs. Burton, who engages in playful speculation about Brockway's feelings towards Miss Vennor after recognizing that their paths have crossed before.

The opening sets a tone of romantic intrigue intertwined with the dynamics of social class, hinting at deeper developments as the story unfolds.
