Thomas Keeling, pillar of Bracebridge society, dwells at 'The Cedars', a spacious residence furnished with such treasures as a small stuffed crocodile rampant. But Keeling stalks unmoved through this opulence, cherishing instead a secret retreat, his book-lined study - and soon a secret passion, when his young secretary Norah surprises his with a solitary glimpse of love. Buried feeling clash with the pompous surface of Benson's uniquely comic world in this poignant classic of English humour.
