The story opens with Mr. Pride, a newspaper journalist, who frantically rushes through London to catch the last train home after an evening spent at a high-profile dinner event. It quickly becomes apparent that this work will delve into the life and challenges of journalists, as well as explore the dynamics within the bustling world of Fleet Street, where news and ambition intertwine. The opening of the novel introduces us to Tommy Pride as he navigates the complexities of life as a reporter. After a long day filled with interviews and social engagements, he finds himself in a rush, reflecting on the competitive and often precarious nature of his profession. Through his interactions with fellow journalists in the lift and on the train, we begin to see different attitudes towards their careers, from Pride's determination to succeed to the naivety of younger reporters like Cannock. He is also introduced as a character who finds solace in the familiarity of his routine, underscoring the stark contrast between the romantic notions of journalism and the gritty realities that accompany it. This opening effectively sets the stage for a narrative that promises to unpack the journalism profession during a transformative period in England's history.
