At the start of the story, readers are introduced to young Charles Strange living with his parents at White Littleham Rectory in Hampshire. The narrative captures a poignant moment between Charles and his fragile mother, who suffers from a mysterious illness. As she confides in him about the uncertainty of her future, Charles clings to the hope of her recovery. The opening also introduces other characters, including his father, Reverend Eustace Strange, and a few village inhabitants, indicating the young boy's close-knit community.
