The story revolves around the Carter sisters, primarily Helen, Douglas, Nan, and Lucy, as they navigate life after their family's wealth has diminished, resulting in a move to a country farm for the winter. The narrative explores themes of adaptation, family dynamics, and the challenge of maintaining a sense of normalcy amidst financial struggles and personal growth. At the start of the story, the Carter family is introduced as they travel to their new home, grappling with their new reality of poverty. Each sister's personality shines through: Helen expresses her disdain for their situation, Douglas takes on the mantle of responsibility, and young Bobby navigates the world with his mischievous charm. Their arrival at the farm is marked by initial disappointments, such as not being met at the station as expected, revealing the uncertainty of their new lives. Through humorous and poignant interactions with their new surroundings and local characters, including the quirky landladies and a mysterious count, the sisters' adventure begins as they adjust to their new life, setting the stage for both conflicts and discoveries to come.
