It follows the adventures of Marcus Ordeyne, a middle-aged man recently freed from a tedious teaching job who unexpectedly inherits a title and wealth after a tragic family disaster. The story dives deep into Marcus's life as he struggles with the newfound responsibilities that come with his title and the awkwardness of societal expectations, especially regarding marriage and his personal relationships.  The opening of the novel introduces Marcus as he reflects on his liberation from a life of teaching, marked by his indifference towards his family who perished in a shipwreck. He visits his Aunt Jessica, who presses the importance of marrying to secure the family line, while he proves himself to be an unconventional character, yearning for freedom over obligation. At the same time, he encounters a young woman named Carlotta, a seemingly wild creature from a different world, who has lost her way in London and brings unexpected challenges into his life. The narrative hints at a brewing comedic dynamic as Marcus grapples with societal norms, the presence of Carlotta, and the implications of his recent title, setting the stage for a richly textured examination of morality, identity, and social conventions.
