The story revolves around the cunning and unscrupulous character of Borly Gáspár, an elderly steward who skillfully siphons off profits from the Inokay family, his employers. The book delves into themes of greed, deception, and the complex dynamics of social class, showcasing how even those in positions of power fall prey to their own shortcomings. The opening of the narrative introduces Borly Gáspár as a crafty old man known for stealing from the Inokay family, who are well aware of his misdeeds but dismiss them due to his long service. Through the eyes of a child, we learn about the interactions between Borly and the family, as well as the generational shifts in wealth and respectability. The scene paints a vivid picture of the social structure, filled with historical references and portrays Borly's peculiar habit of caring for local dogs while neglecting his familial obligations. This sets the stage for a rich exploration of character and morality within a deeply interconnected community.
