It is always the tale of a man musing over his past to find an explanation for the present, searching for some way to break the accidental but inexorable timetable of his life.

Pulham, Esq., the caste-conscious Harvard snob, resigns himself to life in a narrowing circle of middle-aged Bostonian complacency (" 'If I had had the guts' -I sometimes find myself thinking, and a part of the old restlessness comes back").
