Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Meredith Mystery" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Anne Meredith, who is faced with a shocking ultimatum from her wealthy uncle—marry David Curtis, a blind surgeon she barely knows, or face disinheritance. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a tragic murder that complicates the lives of the characters involved, setting up a classic mystery. At the start of the book, Anne Meredith is confronted by her mother about her uncle's demand that she marry David Curtis or risk losing her home and fortune. Disturbed by the ultimatum and the idea of marrying a man she does not love, Anne struggles with her immediate thoughts of independence and the unexpected burden placed on her. Meanwhile, tension escalates further with the revelation of her uncle's murder, and Curtis quickly finds himself entangled in the fallout, leading to questions of motives and hidden secrets within the privileged lives of the Meredith family. The opening pages effectively set the tone for mystery, familial duty, and complicated relationships, hinting at the intrigue that is likely to unfold as the story progresses.
