Framton Nuttel is a highly-strung young man. He suffers from a nervous disorder which is apparently so serious that his doctor has advised him to spend some time in the country for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Framton's sister is also worried about his condition. At the same time, she wants her painfully shy brother to come out of his shell a little bit and meet some people. So she gives him a list of introductions to local families in the area where he'll be staying. One of these families is the Sappletons. The Sappletons live in a large country house. They're a respectable local family, just the kind of people that Framton's sister thinks would be perfect for him to meet and get to know. Who knows, paying them a visit might even do wonders for his nervous condition.
