Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sixpenny Pieces" by A. Neil Lyons is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to the life and practices of Dr. Brink, an unconventional physician working in a working-class neighborhood of London. The narrative likely revolves around the interactions of Dr. Brink with his eclectic patients, showcasing the humor and grit of daily life through a lens that touches on social issues of the time. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in a bustling London street during an eventful evening. The writer introduces us to the chaos following an incident of domestic violence, where we find Dr. Brink, a summary sixpenny doctor, taking charge of a battered woman instead of sending her to a hospital. This opening establishes not only the character of the doctor, who prioritizes the social realities of his patients' lives over conventional medical practices, but also highlights the interesting dynamics of life in that part of London, including the colorful and often troubled individuals who frequent his practice. The initial events hint at the humor and depth of character that will unfold as the story progresses.
