| Summary |
"The Step on the Stair" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Edgar Q. Bartholomew, a young man who unexpectedly becomes entangled in a case of mistaken identity. A lawyer mistakenly hands him a letter intended for another Edgar Bartholomew, leading to a series of events that will reveal deeper family connections and mysteries. The opening of the novel introduces us to Edgar Q. Bartholomew as he navigates the bustling streets of New York City and inadvertently finds himself in a perplexing situation when a stranger approaches him in haste. The man, believing Edgar to be someone else, passes a letter and a key to him before rushing off due to a family emergency. Edgar’s realization that he possesses something meant for another man sets the stage for his inner conflict and reflects the complex relationships that will unfold as the narrative progresses. The text hints at familial dynamics and foreshadows the potential impact these misunderstandings could have on Edgar's life, as he grapples with his identity and the secret he now holds.
