"Seven Keys to Baldpate" by Earl Derr Biggers is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Billy Magee, a writer seeking solitude and inspiration at the seemingly deserted Baldpate Inn, where he intends to escape the buzz of urban life and indulge in creative introspection. However, his plans are complicated by the unexpected arrival of other characters, including a lovelorn haberdasher and a professor entangled in a scandal, leading to a blend of comedic and dramatic situations. The opening of the novel introduces Billy Magee as he arrives at Upper Asquewan Falls, intrigued by a young woman crying in a railway station. Despite his initial intentions to leave her be, he can't resist inquiries about her sorrow. Conversations reveal the mundane yet melancholic nature of the town, setting the stage for Magee's visit to Baldpate Inn. After a humorous exchange with locals, he makes his way to the inn with hopes of solitude. To his surprise, he discovers an unexpected gathering of vibrant personalities, each with their own backstories and motives for being at Baldpate, hinting at a story filled with humor, tension, and potential chaos as the characters converge.
