Its cast ranges from merchants to aristocracy and clergy. 'The Rector' tells the story of Mr. Proctor, a middle-aged clergyman who has spent the fifteen years isolated happily away at All Souls and has now moved to Carlingford to provide a comfortable home for his aging mother. In 'The Doctor's Family,' the readers are introduced to the young Doctor Edward Rider, a bachelor living on Carlingford's newer side. With a blue plaque outside his door carrying the legend M.R.C.S., he ministers to those afraid of the word physician.
