The opening of the novel introduces Monsieur Dalize at his family’s château as he awaits news from his old friend Roger, who has been living in America for a decade. With the arrival of a telegram indicating Roger's imminent return, Dalize shares his excitement with his wife and daughter, Miette.

The interactions between the family members reveal Dalize’s concern for his friend, hinting at deeper emotional themes that may unfold as Roger’s backstory and the impact of his loss are gradually revealed.
