The story takes place in the village of Malford and revolves around John Mortimer and his friend Corin Elmore. As they delve into the art and history of the area, they become entangled with the local gentry, particularly the Delancey family, whose heritage is threatened by a rumor of an American claimant to their estate. The opening portion sets the stage for the unfolding drama in Malford, introducing the readers to the village's inhabitants and their differing opinions on a recent event involving the Delancey family. John and Corin's conversation reveals a light-hearted yet meaningful exploration of their motivations for visiting Malford and the beauty of the landscape. The narrative is enriched by interactions with characters such as Lady Mary Delancey and Father Maloney, hinting at larger themes of tradition versus change, and the exploration of personal connections to heritage.
