The opening portion introduces various characters in a reading room, establishing a lively setting filled with diverse personalities, including a jealous husband and his secretive wife, who are involved in an intricate love affair. The beginning of the novel sets the scene in a reading room where patrons engage with newspapers while waiting for their turn.
