A tutor returns to his country home and struggles with rekindled passion for a former pupil after a rival's visit disrupts their easy intimacy. Attempts to resume lessons falter as he awkwardly courts her and contemplates marriage despite doubts about his appearance and prospects. A worldly London friend provides a counterpoint of bohemian tastes and precarious artistic livelihood, forcing practical questions about social position and money. The narrative shifts between rural life and metropolitan scenes, examining unspoken desire, social conventions, and the tension between sentimental idealism and pragmatic concerns about marriage and reputation.
