The story follows the characters of the Duke de Montvillier, an American nobleman with a mysterious past, and his friend Hank as they navigate life in a modest suburb of London, Kymott Crescent. Their arrival disrupts the quiet suburban routine, leading to humorous encounters and social interactions with the eccentric neighbors, particularly with the intriguing Miss Alicia Terrill. The opening of the novel introduces the suburban setting and the initial speculation surrounding the new tenants at No. 64, who are revealed to be the Duke and Hank. The arrival of these two men, dressed in a manner that signals their unconventional backgrounds, raises curiosity among the residents, especially young Willie Outram. The narrative unfolds with introductions to the local directory of residents, presenting a colorful array of characters and hints of potential conflicts as they exert their neighborhood norms. As the Duke interacts with Alicia, who is drawn to him despite her initial indignation regarding a mishap involving her cat, the stage is set for a blend of romance and comedy. The dynamics between the Duke and the residents promise an engaging exploration of class, identity, and the peculiarities of suburban life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
