The story centers around the protagonist, Robert Spinrobin, whose vivid imagination and childhood belief in the power of names shape his journey into a world of spiritual adventure. As he grows older, he seeks an extraordinary existence beyond the mundane, ultimately leading him to a retired clergyman named Philip Skale, who has intriguing plans for experiments involving sound and spiritual truths. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Spinrobin's imaginative childhood, where he perceives names as vital forces that bring creations to life. We learn of his later discontent with ordinary life, prompting him to answer an unusual job advertisement by Skale, who requires a secretary with unique qualities. The opening portion establishes Spinrobin’s character as whimsical yet yearning for depth, setting the stage for his encounter with Skale, who embodies both a grounding force and a visionary leader. As Spinrobin embarks on this unique assignment, he begins to experience profound connections with sound, language, and a mysterious young woman named Miriam, hinting at the deeper spiritual explorations yet to unfold in their intertwined destinies.
