This is an easy to read story of a middle-aged academic. He is at a crossroad in life. His great accomplishment is behind him but it has brought no notoriety. His family relationships have matured; they are no longer dependent upon him. He has moved to a new house, yet he can not break away from his old study with its comforts and memories. Into these memories Cather neatly entwines the story of a former student: a story more interesting, but less intellectual, than that of the principal character.
