At the turn of the century "in one of those grey towns along the Burlington railroad, which are so much greyer today than they were then, there was a house well known for its hospitality and for a certain cfharm of atmosphere....No house was pleasanter than that of Captain Daniel Forrester....In the eyes of the admiring middle-aged men who visited there, whatever Mrs. Forrester chose to do was 'lady-like' because she did it. They could not imagine her in any dress or situation in which she would not be charming."

Marian Forrester is pictured through the eyes of a young man who wa at first more than a little in love with her but came at last both to see her without illusion and to grasp the changes in her and in the town of Sweet Water.
