The narrative delves into the complexities of love and social dynamics, primarily focusing on the lives of schoolboys and their evolving views on affection, honor, and masculinity, particularly through the character of Matey Weyburn and his interactions with his female counterpart, Aminta Farrell. The beginning of the story introduces us to a group of schoolboys at Cuper's school, where Matey Weyburn is the admired leader. As they partake in a Sunday walk, the presence of schoolgirls becomes a focal point of their attention, sparking a discussion on love and relationships, which starts to ignite feelings among the boys as they observe Aminta, who captures Matey's interest. The boys’ sentiments reveal their disinterest in romance initially, yet they are drawn to Aminta's dark beauty and character, contrasting their prior dismissiveness toward girls. This initial setup sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the emotional intricacies and societal views on love that underpin the boys' coming-of-age experiences.
