Summary "The Little Red Chimney: Being the Love Story of a Candy Man" by Mary Finley Leonard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the titular "Candy Man," a character whose life intertwines with a charming young woman named Miss Bentley, also referred to as "the Girl of All Others." Their interactions and the influence of various supporting characters suggest themes of love, class differences, and the pursuit of happiness within an urban setting. At the start of the story, the Candy Man is introduced while he tends to his Candy Wagon on a rainy day in October. He witnesses a near-accident involving Miss Bentley, which sparks an immediate connection between them. She is briefly flustered but expresses gratitude, leading him to recall her delightful presence. As he goes about his day, he reflects on this encounter, pondering the complexities of social status and his own humble position. The narrative hints at the unfolding romance and adventures tied to the "Little Red Chimney," where Miss Bentley resides, as well as the interesting lives surrounding both the Candy Man and Miss Bentley, including an old miser and a lively child named Virginia.
