Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Mary Regan" by Leroy Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complex relationship between the protagonist, Robert Clifford, and Mary Regan, who has just returned to New York after a self-imposed hiatus. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the glittering yet treacherous world of Broadway and its social intricacies, hinting at themes of love, identity, and manipulation. At the start of the story, Robert Clifford is waiting at the Grand Alcazar restaurant, reflecting on his unresolved feelings for Mary Regan and the six-month silence that followed their emotionally charged farewell. The opening chapter vividly depicts the bustling atmosphere of the restaurant and introduces a variety of characters that represent the dual nature of society. As Clifford contemplates his relationship with Mary, he is suddenly faced with her unexpected reappearance, accompanied by lawyer Peter Loveman. This moment ignites a cascade of emotions and questions for Clifford about Mary’s true intentions and the potential dangers she might be entangled in within her new circle. The scene sets the stage for a gripping exploration of their past, Mary's past associations with crime, and the complexities of modern relationships in a world rife with deception and intrigue.
