The story

Arthur Wells, a timid daydreamer with poetic ambitions and a chronic fear of almost everything, earns his keep working as a baggage porter in "Lunon," where he's often mocked for being more skittish than strong. One day, while clumsily hauling trunks aboard a steamer bound for Africa, Arthur is startled by a monkey leaping onto his shoulders. In a panic, he bolts into the nearest private cabin—unwittingly barging in on the famously aloof Lord Melville Dryden, a hardened British explorer and confirmed woman-hater.
