The story revolves around societal expectations regarding love and marriage, highlighting the struggles of the main character, Constance Durant, who, despite her wealth and social standing, grapples with the pressures of familial obligations and romantic entanglements.

The narrative centers on Constance Durant, a young woman navigating the social expectations of her time, particularly regarding her reluctance to marry without love. Her stepmother, Mrs. Durant, is frustrated by Constance's disinterest in the eligible suitors around her, which she believes hampers the prospects of her own daughters, Muriel and Doris.
