Furnished with a spotless reputation and an unimpeachable record as a don, the Reverend Thomas Cavendish is destined to become Master of his Cambridge college. Fending off the attentions of the young Florence, a friend of his sister's who has set her heart on marrying him, he dedicates himself to the pastimes of the respectable: walking the flat planes of the Fens and tending to his indoor aviary. That is, until the arrival of Kitty. From here on, Cavendish's life of leisure and respectability seems a mere distant memory, as his obsession ferments within him and leads him down a dark path to destruction.
