Richmond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book deals with the interplay between two main characters, Robert McPherson Black, a young minister, and Dr. Redfield Pepper Burns, a busy and somewhat cynical doctor. The story explores their lives, contrasting their professions and personalities against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal aspirations.  The opening of the novel sets the stage for the connection between these two men, highlighting their initial meeting in a church setting where Black is nervous about his new position as a minister. Meanwhile, Dr. Burns arrives late, ultimately leaving before the sermon ends due to a call. The narrative reveals both characters' thoughts and feelings, particularly Black's admiration for Burns despite initially viewing him as too young and inexperienced. At the same time, Burns, while skeptical, finds himself drawn to the energetic and earnest Black. This first chapter sets in motion the themes of friendship, duty, and the complexities of their respective roles in a small community.
