The story follows a group of children, including Agatha Bower and her companions Frank, Herbert, and Edward, as they embark on a train journey home for Christmas. The narrative explores themes of adventure, familial bonds, and the spirit of togetherness during the holidays.  At the start of the story, we are introduced to Agatha, a nervous girl in mourning, and her friends as they prepare to board the train from Greenbrier. Accompanied by their older companion Frank, they anticipate a joyous holiday celebration at their destination, Riverton. However, moments after setting off, they find themselves on the wrong train due to Frank's overconfidence and failure to inquire about the route, leading to unforeseen challenges and snowy weather. The children grapple with fear and anxiety as they navigate their way through a series of mishaps, ultimately resulting in the kind offer of a clergyman to shelter them for the night. The opening establishes a sense of adventure and introduces the dynamics between the characters, hinting at growth and resolutions as they face the unpredictability of their journey.
