The story unfolds aboard a steamer ship to England, where Polly and Jasper encounter the ailing Mr. Selwyn in the library. As they navigate their concerns for him, they also confront the harsh behavior of a cruel boy and the snobbish attitude of Fanny Vanderburgh, who dismisses the old man as beneath her. The narrative explores themes of compassion, social class, and the complexities of human interaction in a confined setting.
