Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Enoch Crane" by Francis Hopkinson Smith and F. Berkeley Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to various characters living in a boarding house in New York City, particularly focusing on the titular character, Enoch Crane, an old gentleman with a crusty exterior but admirable values. The narrative explores themes of societal interactions, love, ambition, and the complexities of human relationships. At the start of the novel, readers meet Joe Grimsby, a vibrant young architect moving into an apartment, who quickly becomes absorbed by the charming new tenant, Sue Ford, and her family. Their arrival sparks interactions among various house residents, including the wise old Enoch Crane and the outgoing Ebner Ford, Sue's stepfather, who is characterized as loud and opportunistic. Through these early interactions, tensions escalate, particularly between Joe's earnest pursuit of a relationship with Sue and the contrasting influences of her stepfather's brashness. The opening part sets an engaging stage for a blend of romance and drama, providing insights into the characters' social dynamics and establishing the groundwork for the unfolding narrative.
