Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Red House on Rowan Street" by Roman Doubleday is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Hugh Burton arriving in the town of High Ridge on a seemingly trivial errand to persuade Leslie Underwood to reconsider her refusal to marry Philip Overman. However, the situation quickly unravels into deeper complexities as Burton encounters a web of local gossip and intrigue surrounding the Underwood family, particularly regarding Dr. Underwood, who is plagued by rumors of robbery and malpractice. At the start of the novel, Burton's journey into High Ridge introduces elements of tension and curiosity. After arriving, he becomes embroiled in the local community’s speculative conversations about the Underwoods, encountering a mix of characters that hint at the family's troubled reputation. The narrative is characterized by Burton's observations about the peculiarities of town life and the hints of darker secrets that threaten the Underwood family. As he investigates further, he navigates a unique landscape of social dynamics, misunderstandings, and potential dangers, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of character relationships and unfolding drama.
