| Summary | "Susan Clegg and a Man in the House" by Anne Warner is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story centers around Susan Clegg, a strong-willed woman who has lived alone since her father's death. When the proposal of a man, Elijah Doxey, moving into her home as an editor for a new local newspaper presents itself, Susan faces the complexities of allowing a man into her life, all while sharing her humorous observations about relationships and community dynamics. "The beginning of the novel introduces Susan Clegg and her reflections on men, relationships, and the potential challenges of having Elijah Doxey as a boarder." She expresses her skepticism about the happiness of married women in her community to her friend, Mrs. Lathrop, emphasizing the troublesome experiences of others. As the narrative progresses, we learn that Susan's decision to allow Elijah into her home is influenced both by her desire for independence and by the community's need for a local newspaper. These interactions set the stage for humorous and insightful anecdotes related to the men in her life and the implications of their presence, which promise to develop into further comedic situations as the story unfolds.
