Colonel Fenchurch, a cheerful little man of the hunting field, chatters over tea while his wife, Doodie, broods over a letter. From that country-house opening the novel turns on a mother and daughter and the ingratitude of the title, following marriages, secrets and a young mother, Mrs. Blagdon, living with her child in a neglected house.
