The narrative follows the experiences of an earnest yet hapless gardener who, at 23, navigates life's challenges and absurdities in a boarding house in London. Central themes appear to include the exploration of identity, personal aspirations, and the often farcical nature of social connections, as the gardener interacts with characters such as the pragmatic girl Courtesy and a passionate suffragette. The opening of the novel introduces the gardener, who experiences a series of minor yet comical crises, including the breaking of a boot-lace. He is portrayed as a deeply introspective figure, often lost in his own thoughts and theories about life, love, and art. When he encounters Courtesy, a somewhat oblivious yet kind young woman who helps him with his boot, it sparks a mixture of indignation and admiration in him. As the gardener embarks on a whimsical journey, he later crosses paths with a fervent suffragette who ignites both his curiosity and a new set of complications in their shared tale of exploration and growth. This initial chapter sets the stage for a blend of humor and social commentary, as the gardener fumbles through his interactions while crafting a narrative that reflects both his romantic ideals and the stark realities of his existence.
