Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Holden with the Cords" by W. M. L. Jay is a religious novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into themes of morality, social responsibility, and personal struggles, weaving a narrative that connects its characters' lives to deeper spiritual questions. The story seems to intersect the lives of several protagonists, including the medical student Frank Trubie, the troubled Alec Arling, and the enigmatic Edmund Roath. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a vivid setting—a medical college characterized by student life and the pressures of imminent examinations. The narrative centers around Frank Trubie's concern for his friend Alec Arling, who has mysteriously gone missing during a time when he was advised to rest due to illness. After failing to locate Alex, a dramatic turn occurs when Arling is discovered dead in his locked room, leading to a chilling atmosphere of suspicion and accusations. Amid the unfolding tragedy, the relationships, ambitions, and moral dilemmas faced by the characters come to the forefront, hinting at a gripping exploration of both personal and universal conflicts throughout the book.
