The story centers around the characters Kirsty and Francis, exploring their relationship against the backdrop of their distinct social standings and personal ambitions. As they navigate their youthful aspirations and the complexities of friendship, themes of class distinction and the meaning of true worth emerge. The opening of "Heather and Snow" introduces us to Kirsty, a practical and perceptive girl, and Francis, a boy filled with ambition and pride. They engage in a spirited dialogue while sitting together on a hillside, revealing their personalities—Francis dreams of becoming a soldier just like his father, while Kirsty challenges his self-importance and insists on a more humble approach to life.
