The story follows the titular character, Sir George Tressady, a young man freshly elected to Parliament, as he navigates the complex and often competing demands of political ambition, personal relationships, and family expectations. With an intriguing cast, including Sir George's friend Lord Fontenoy and the charming yet complicated Letty Sewell, the narrative explores themes of social class, political integrity, and the struggle for identity within a rapidly changing society. The opening of the novel introduces Sir George Tressady and his friend Lord Fontenoy after a grueling election campaign that culminated in Tressady's narrow victory. As they travel through the dark countryside in celebration, they encounter a hostile crowd of miners expressing their discontentment with Tressady's win, underscoring the tensions between social classes and the political landscape of the time. The narrative then shifts to the celebratory reception at Malford House, where Tressady's family and friends greet him with enthusiasm, but also foreshadows the challenges he will face. Meanwhile, his budding relationship with Letty Sewell hints at possible romantic complications, as both characters explore their desires amidst societal pressures. George's reflections on his election, conversations with Fontenoy, and interactions with Letty set the stage for the drama and dilemmas that will unfold in his parliamentary career and personal life.
