In his first week at school Peter Margerison sees the radiant Urquhart on the football field and is dazzled for life. Peter himself has no gift for getting on, and as he chooses a career and drifts among friends, cousins and boarding-house lodgers in a grey and dusty world, he finds his contentment in the nice things that are not work.
