The narrative begins with a traveler who arrives in a small provincial town to attend the funeral of a Canoness, a figure of respect and kindness who had touched the lives of the local residents. As the story unfolds, it hints at exploring themes of kindness, loss, and the everyday lives of those in a religious community. The opening of the novel presents the traveler’s initial impressions of the town and the burial of the Canoness, depicting a somber atmosphere filled with melancholy yet reverence for the deceased. Through keen observations and poignant interactions, particularly with an elderly woman from the almshouse and a mysterious man outside the Canoness’s residence, the setting is vividly brought to life. As the protagonist grapples with the sense of loss and a longing to understand the significance of the Canoness's life, it sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and the impact she had on her community. The introduction creates an air of intrigue around the Canoness and hints at unfolding her life story in the subsequent chapters.
