Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dominie Dean: A Novel" by Ellis Parker Butler is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The novel revolves around David Dean, a young and idealistic minister, as he navigates life in the small town of Riverbank, encountering issues of love, reputation, and social dynamics, particularly focusing on his interactions with two central female characters: the flirtatious 'Thusia Fragg and the dependable Mary Wiggett. At the start of the narrative, David arrives in Riverbank, filled with aspirations and marked by a dedication to his calling as a minister. He quickly becomes entangled in the local social scene, particularly with 'Thusia, whose vivaciousness attracts him, despite societal scrutiny regarding her reputation, and Mary, who harbors feelings for him and represents a more conventional choice. The opening chapters establish a dynamic tension between his duties and his growing affections, setting the stage for conflicts with both the town's expectations and his own moral compass as he seeks to maintain his integrity amid gossip and rivalry.
