| Summary | "A Rock in the Baltic" by Robert Barr is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Lieutenant Alan Drummond of the British Navy as he navigates an intriguing incident at a bank in Bar Harbor, Maine, that sparks a series of unexpected encounters with a beautiful young woman named Dorothy Amhurst. The narrative blends elements of romance and adventure, showcasing the societal dynamics of the time. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Lieutenant Drummond during his visit to the bank, where he observes an anxious Dorothy attempting to cash a check. When she briefly abandons her gold coins, Drummond impulsively takes the money to return it to her, evoking the suspicion of the bank cashier, who believes a robbery is underway. This moment of misunderstanding sets the stage for a reluctant partnership and sparks a conversation between Drummond and Dorothy, revealing their individual circumstances and aspirations. This initial encounter hints at themes of fortune, social class, and the complexities of human connection, providing a captivating setup for the ensuing drama and romantic developments.
