1. Why is the narrator leaving one city and what is his destination as the novel begins?

The narrator describes traveling out of Paris, a city he loathes for its artificiality and bustle, into the French countryside. His destination is a small rural town called Autun.

2. Where does the narrator plan to stay while in Autun?

From the train station he sees the house he will be staying in, a house owned by his friends, the Wheatlands. It is a large stone house with enormous windows showing obvious signs of old age.

3. How does the narrator spend his first full day in Autun?

He wakes early in the next morning and begins his daily life there. He finds himself becoming quickly accustomed to life there but is held back by his imperfect French. He dreams of one day not only mastering the language but also completely erasing his accent. He strolls around the town, learning the streets and taking in the beauty and simplicity of village life.
