Chapter One a frail love and a restless man in motion
A dark young man on a train shuns a patterned girl while seeking escape from memory and money troubles. He alights in a small town and meets Iris Lanning, a practical young woman with ties to Aunt Ella and Grandin Lane. Their encounter contrasts old fashioned ideals with modern longing as a spring landscape unfolds.
