The story revolves around the lives of two brothers, Mark and Archibald Samphire, depicting their experiences at school, their relationships, and their challenges as they navigate their paths in life. The narrative hints at themes of ambition and personal growth while capturing the complexities of brotherly bonds in the face of societal expectations and personal struggles. The opening of the book introduces Mark Samphire, a sensitive and stuttering boy, as he grapples with his feelings of inadequacy amidst a gathering where his confident brother, Archibald, shines. Mark's insecurities are highlighted through his interactions, especially with a close friend, Jim, and amidst the anticipation surrounding the entrance of a young girl, Betty Kirtling, into the room. Mark's admiration for his brother's successes contrasts sharply with his own challenges, setting the stage for his personal journey as he faces the trials of growing up and finding his place within the social structure of his world, particularly in the context of their elite school, Harrow.
