Initially terrified, Humbert then begins to see the charm in the situation of being Dolores' stepfather, and so marries Charlotte for instrumental reasons. When Dolores is sent to summer camp, Humbert receives a letter from Charlotte, who confesses her love for him and gives him an ultimatum – he is to either marry her or move out immediately. The impassioned Humbert constantly searches for discreet forms of fulfilling his sexual urges, usually via the smallest physical contact with Dolores. Humbert sees in Dolores the perfect nymphet, the embodiment of his old love Annabel, and quickly decides to move in.

However, Charlotte leads Humbert to her garden, where her 12-year-old daughter Dolores (also variably known as Dolly, Lo, and Lola) is sunbathing.

Humbert visits Charlotte's residence out of politeness and initially intends to decline her offer.

The house that he intends to live in is destroyed in a fire, and in his search for a new home, he meets the widow Charlotte Haze, who is looking for a tenant. In 1947, he moves to Ramsdale, a small town in New England, where he can calmly continue working on his book. Before the outbreak of World War II, Humbert moves to New York. This youthful and physically unfulfilled love is interrupted by Annabel's premature death from typhus, which causes Humbert to become sexually obsessed with a specific type of girl, aged 9 to 14, whom he refers to as ' nymphets.'Īfter graduation, Humbert works as an English teacher and begins editing an academic literary textbook, making passing reference to repeated stays in mental institutions at this time. He spends his childhood on the French Riviera, where he falls in love with his friend Annabel Leigh. The memoir, which addresses the audience as his jury, begins with Humbert's birth in Paris in 1910.
