The opening of the novel introduces us to the Marchesa as she travels by train from London to Stirling, where her arrival at an inn emphasizes her status as a significant foreign visitor. After receiving exceptional service from the inn staff, her curiosity leads her to inquire about the new Duke of Dorset, suggesting that she has a particular interest in his whereabouts. As she interacts with the innkeeper and learns more about the Duke, we see her intelligence and ambition surface, hinting at a deeper connection and purpose for her visit. The chapter concludes with her setting off to seek the Duke, laying the groundwork for an intricate exploration of identity and aspirations against the backdrop of Scotland's rich history.
