Spoilers ahead

Priam Farrel is celebrated as England’s most illustrious painter, yet he lives as a reclusive figure who recoils from fame. Having spent years away from his homeland, he keeps a distance from the public eye, and even his longtime agent has never laid eyes on him. A case of mistaken belief kickstarts a strange chain of events: when Lady Helen unexpectedly assumes that he has proposed, Priam hastily returns to London with his loyal valet, Henry Leek. The tale takes a dark turn when Leek dies soon afterward of pneumonia, and the attending physician, misreading the situation, declares the famous painter dead to the world.
