Born to the amiable Sir Peter Chillingly and a carefully chosen wife, Kenelm grows into a solemn young man who distrusts every fashion of his age. Rather than enter society or Parliament, he sets out on foot across England in humble clothes, meeting all sorts and conditions of people, and learning at last what love and duty demand.
