George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud’s aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales.

    He has never worked and lives in a continual whirl of parties and good times. When this lifestyle disagrees with his digestion, he consults a Harley Street specialist—only to have the doctor sneer at him and refuse to shake his hand. Bliss angrily blurts that he could set out that same day in an old suit with five pounds in the pocket and find an honest living for a year. If he does not succeed, he says, he will pay to build a new hospital. With that, the pampered young man begins an adventure that never takes him beyond London, but opens his eyes to the struggles of everyday people to survive.
