"At the start of the collection, the reader is drawn into the picturesque setting of the Fern Isles, where an old sailor captivates the company with the tale of his friend, Bill Stanley. The backstory reveals the hardships faced by Bill, including the death of his mother and the societal pressures against his love for Mary, who is being pursued by a manipulative suitor.
