Le tavole del titolo sono quelle di una pensioncina inglese dove vivono alcuni clienti abituali. Tra questi c'è John Malcolm, scrittore americano da tempo divorziato che, benché abbia una relazione con la padrona dell'alberghetto, non ha mai dimenticato la prima moglie. Un altro avventore è il timido e inibito Pollock, sedicente ufficiale, innamorato dell'altrettanto timida Sibyl, dominata da una madre invadente e possessiva.
