The opening of the novel introduces Elizabeth in a state of discontent due to a quarrel with her husband, Lord Valmond, who has left for Africa. Seeking solace, she stays with her great aunt Maria at Heaviland Manor. During her stay, Elizabeth receives news of her aunt's first automobile, which is met with a mix of humor and curiosity by the characters. As she adjusts to her current situation, plans begin to form that will lead her to embark on a voyage across America with her friend Octavia, which promises to be both adventurous and enlightening as she navigates interactions with new people, including an intriguing American gentleman she meets along the way.
