The story revolves around the complexities of love and social interactions among a group of characters in high society, particularly focusing on young May Calthorpe and her secret correspondence with the mysterious author Christopher Calumus, who is linked to the popular book "Love in a Cloud." Other characters, like Mrs. Harbinger and Tom Harbinger, also navigate their romantic entanglements, revealing a comedic yet poignant exploration of relationships. At the start of the novel, we find May Calthorpe enthusiastically defending the merits of the book "Love in a Cloud" to her friend Mrs. Harbinger, who is tired of its incessant mention in their social circle. As the conversation unfolds, it is revealed that May has taken a bold step by writing to the author using a pseudonym, Christopher Calumus, expressing her admiration for his work. May eagerly anticipates meeting the author that afternoon at tea, setting the stage for an exciting blend of romance, misunderstandings, and intriguing social dynamics to come. The opening serves as an engaging introduction to the themes of love, secrecy, and societal norms that will play a significant role throughout the story.
