The narrator is the happiest young man in Manhattan, a popular novelist with an automobile income and omnibus tastes. Challenged to prove he can live by real work rather than easy success, he sails for France, drifts into an engagement he never intended, settles in the Latin Quarter and discovers just how hard it is to pawn a signet ring and keep his pride.
