The narrative revolves around the conflicts between traditional country gentry, represented by Hillcrist and his family, and the newly wealthy, embodied by Hornblower. The crux of the story lies in the struggle over social values, property rights, and the impact of wealth on community relationships. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the Hillcrist family, who are embroiled in a contentious situation with Hornblower, a man whose newfound wealth threatens their way of life. Through dialogue between the characters, we get a sense of the tension between old and new social norms, as Hillcrist expresses disdain for Hornblower's aggressive business tactics that endanger the tenancies of locals such as the Jackmans. The conflict escalates when Hornblower makes a play for the Centry estate, which Hillcrist is deeply attached to, setting the stage for a battle that encompasses social values and personal sentiments. The opening vividly establishes the characters’ personalities, their relationships, and the emotional stakes at play.
