The narrative centers around the aspirations of Colin Churchill, a young sculptor who desires to go to Rome to further his artistic education. Throughout the opening chapters, Colin's character is developed alongside Minna Wroe, a supportive and caring figure in his life, who grapples with her feelings of love and concern as Colin prepares to depart. At the start of the book, we find Colin at a crossroads, feeling dissatisfied with his current job at a marble-cutting studio and yearning for the opportunities and artistic growth he believes he can find in Rome. With Minna's encouragement, he learns of a job as a valet that might provide him the means to reach his destination. Their conversations reflect not only Colin's ambitions but also Minna's internal struggle between supporting Colin’s dreams and fearing for the loss of their bond. As Colin embarks on his journey, the narrative sets up a complex mix of aspirations, love, and the challenges that arise as they navigate their separate paths.
