Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Old Flute-Player: A Romance of To-day" by Edward Marshall and Charles T. Dazey is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Herr Kreutzer, a mysterious old flute-player, and his beautiful daughter, Anna, who live in a modest London lodging while Kreutzer performs in a small orchestra. Their life takes a turn when they decide to emigrate to America, motivated by an urgent need to escape from a hidden threat, and supported by their humble servant M'riar's loyalty and love for Anna. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Kreutzer and Anna, living a secluded life amidst suspicions about their background. The narrative reveals Kreutzer's protective nature towards Anna and hints at their troubled past, particularly through the reactions of neighbors and fellow musicians. As they prepare for their journey to America, we meet M'riar, a devoted young servant who idolizes Anna and ultimately decides to follow them. Their departure becomes an emotional moment, as M'riar's affection for Anna compels her to take drastic measures, ensuring their bond remains intact amid the uncertainties of their new life ahead.
