Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sam" by E. J. Rath is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Miss Chalmers, who is portrayed as a poised and somewhat haughty woman, demonstrating impatience as she seeks to reach Witherbee’s Island. The narrative highlights her interactions with a boatman named Sam, setting the tone for a tale that seems to blend elements of mystery and romance, focusing on class distinctions and personal growth. The opening of the book introduces us to Miss Chalmers, who is frustrated at having missed the last boat to Witherbee’s Island and is forced to engage the services of an unreliable boatman named Sam. As the two embark on their journey, they encounter a series of mishaps, including engine failures and Miss Chalmers's irritation with Sam's demeanor. Their dynamic is charged with tension as she struggles to maintain her composure while the boatman responds to her with a mix of casualness and humor, suggesting a growing conflict between their differing social statuses. This initial segment sets the stage for a story that promises to unfold with comedic moments and the exploration of relationships.
