At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Diotti's imminent debut in New York, a pivotal moment that stirs significant public interest. He is depicted as a gifted musician with a deep, philosophical understanding of happiness, and his admiration for Mildred quickly becomes apparent during a reception hosted by Mrs. Llewellyn. Their meeting sparks a complex relationship marked by Diotti's struggles with self-doubt and the burden of expectation. As he performs, his intense focus on winning Mildred's affection clashes with his fears of not being "great enough" for her.
