The story follows Paul Verdayne, a young English nobleman who is sent away to France and Switzerland after being caught with the parson's daughter. In Switzerland, he meets an older woman referred to as "the Lady" and they engage in a passionate relationship for three weeks. Paul later discovers that the Lady is actually the queen of a Russian dependency and her husband is abusive towards her. After their encounter, she disappears and Paul returns to England.
