The book begins: Miss Jane Jay used to think that she discovered Paul Phillips: but really and truly Doctor Lavendar saw him before she did, and so did her sister, Miss Henrietta. It was one hot August afternoon that the old minister, passing the open door of Van Horn's tavern, saw a lazy, sweltering crowd gathered inside, where, it seemed, some sort of entertainment was going on. Doctor Lavendar stopped and looked in, his hands on either side of the doorway, his hat pushed back, his face red with heat.
