The story centers around the Lester family, particularly Mr. Gerald Lester, the head of the household and owner of Oakby Hall, as well as his children, including the protagonist Cheriton Lester.

The opening portion of the novel introduces the Lester family and their home, Oakby Hall, establishing a picturesque, yet somewhat formidable setting in the English countryside. As the family prepares for the arrival of their elder brother Alvar, who has lived abroad, a mix of excitement and apprehension fills the household. Cheriton and his siblings exhibit curiosity and trepidation about this stranger who bears the title of heir. Tensions arise as they navigate their emotions regarding his foreign upbringing compared to their own, setting the stage for potential conflicts and sibling relationships that develop throughout the story.
