In 1884 Van and Ada, age 14 and 12, fall passionately in love, and their affair is marked by a powerful sense of romantic eroticism.

The affair has become strained because of Van's suspicions that Ada has had another lover and the increasing intrusion of Lucette ( their 12-year-old half sister ) into their trysts ( an intrusion that Van half welcomes but Ada resents ).

They have a shallow physical relationship, which provides Van with respite from the emotional strain of his feelings for Ada.

In the autumn of 1892 Lucette, now having declared her love for Van, brings him a letter from Ada in which she announces she has received an offer of marriage from a wealthy Russian, Andrey Vinelander.

Upon grasping the situation regarding Van and Ada, he tells Van that Ada would be happier if he " gave her up "— and what is more, he would disown Van completely if he failed to do so.

With Ada having married Andrey Vinelander, Van occupies himself in traveling and his studies, until 1901 when Lucette reappears in England.

Van meets with them, and together he and Ada formulate a plan for her to leave her husband and live with him.
