At the start of the story, Lieutenant Forbes observes the bustling streets of New York and reflects on his time away. He becomes enthralled by the parade of women, with his attention fixed on one captivating figure adorned with a striking hat. As he attempts to catch a glimpse of her face, he experiences a mix of admiration and envy, propelling him into a quest to uncover her identity.
