In which the venerable estate of Chaldicotes, with its ancient forest soon to be lost to progress, plays host to a gathering of local dignitaries and clergy, among whom the young vicar Mark Robarts finds himself intriguingly entwined. He navigates the complex social currents of this elite company, reflecting on the demands of his vocation and the invitations that might lead him further into the world of influence and power.
