The narrative unfolds around the character of Sylvia, who is navigating her feelings towards her guardian, Colonel Wimpole, amidst themes of love, loss, and social expectations. The story explores the complexities of their relationship as Sylvia, an impressionable young woman, grapples with emotions that intertwine affection with the looming specter of age and societal constraints. The opening of the novel introduces Sylvia in a personal moment with Colonel Wimpole, as they discuss an etching depicting a noble knight and the deeper meanings it may hold. Their dialogue hints at Sylvia's infatuation with the ideals of heroism and love, while Colonel Wimpole reflects on his past and the unfulfilled promises rooted in his experiences of war and honor. As the narrative develops, the emotional tension between them is palpable, with themes of unreciprocated love and the weight of societal norms coming into play, especially as Sylvia mistakes Wimpole’s fatherly affection for something more.
