The story revolves around the life and experiences of Martha Heatherdale, a young nursemaid who reflects on her past, particularly her encounters with the Penrose family, comprising three young ladies and their cousin, Master Francis. The book appears to explore themes of childhood innocence, care, and social class through the lens of Martha's memories. The opening of the story introduces Martha, who is now older and reminiscing about seeing the Penrose children for the first time during a bright summer afternoon. She describes her observations of their playful nature and the caring bond between them, especially between the eldest girl, Miss Bess, and Master Francis, who has a slight lameness. Martha expresses both a fondness for children and a sense of longing, reflecting on her own past and the recent loss she has endured. As she stands at her cottage door watching them, thoughts of her own grief intertwine with her curiosity about the lives of the children, setting the stage for her future involvement with them and the complexities of their familial dynamics.
