Dickens felt that the altered title would be more striking.The story centers on a country lawyer, Edward Wilkins, and his daughter Ellinor.

His legal representation of the local gentry and nobility leads him to try fitting into their social circles, only to be mocked and treated with derision. He develops a drinking problem and spends more money than he can afford to in his attempts to be an equal to his clients. His bad habits lead to problems in his business, and Edward is forced to take on a junior partner named Mr. Dunster.
