The narrative follows a young girl who, after losing her parents, is placed in the care of relatives and ultimately taken in by a determined aunt. Episodes trace her adjustment to a new household, schooling, and artistic pursuits, including study of the violin, as she learns to be useful and self-reliant. Summer excursions, a haunted-house episode, a bridge and a night of adventure, and an inheritance subplot punctuate a series of domestic and social scenes that together chart gradual moral and practical growth toward independence.
