The story begins by introducing two young characters from differing social classes: Miss Fordyce, the landlord's daughter, and Andrew, the tenant's son. Their dialogue in the kitchen sets the stage for themes of class distinction, creative expression through poetry, and the complexity of human relationships. At the start of the novel, the conversation between Miss Fordyce and Andrew reveals their differing outlooks on poetry and life. Miss Fordyce exhibits a sense of superiority while discussing Andrew's poetry, reflecting her social status. Andrew, meanwhile, expresses humility and an aversion to public attention regarding his creative work. Their interaction is interrupted by a train accident, leading to the introduction of George Crawford, a man of higher status whose injury will interweave their lives further. This opening lays a foundation for the exploration of class, ambition, and moral principles, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and character development in the pages to come.
