The story centers around Grenfall Lorry, an adventurous young man who, tired of traveling, intends to return home when he becomes captivated by a mysterious foreign woman on a train journey.

At the start of the story, Lorry boards a train headed east, feeling weary of travel, but soon his mundane journey is enlivened by a chance meeting with an intriguing young woman traveling with her uncle and aunt. As they share a train compartment, Lorry finds himself drawn to her striking beauty and enigmatic presence, fueling his curiosity and desire for adventure.
