Palmer, a Bi, travels to Georgia where a Turpin relative invites him to Pines for a visit. He meets Ellen and faces kinship questions as a mortgage case and romance unfold with town gossip and a courtship by an elderly suitor.
A narrator recalls an invitation at the Pines with Miss Ellen and Bud the plowman. He woos Miss Ellen in old style courtship, dances, and attends a wishing stone ceremony where lovers silently vow, adding a twist of fate and romance to the garden party.
The narrator contemplates publishing a letter about life at the Pines and the antebellum South to showcase the goings of Bud Ellen and colonel figures. He wrestles with exposing poverty and heroism of old families while seeking editor approval and Miss Ellen’s reaction. His desire to write grows into a feverish resolve to reveal the life and its beauty through a personal, heartfelt account.
In a letter and notes to the editor the narrator explains delaying plans to remain near Oglethorpe for a fortnight more to gather material and seek Ellen's consent to marriage.
