3rd printing. $1.50
A happily written English story with a theme of wide appeal. A likable youth with artistic tendencies is converted, for a time at least, to the ways, and works, and daughter of a puritan family. The situation is worked out with humor and in an atmosphere of good breeding.
“A really charming narrative. They’re all very real, these good people, even the most lightly sketched among them, while Broggers, and lisping Chris, the good old Lomax, and sweet, human Margaret, and brave, brave Betty, these are altogether too nice and wholesomely lovable to shut away with the memory of their story’s single reading. There’s too much to be learned and enjoyed to think of perusing but once.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
“Those critics who have asserted that all possible plots have been used will be compelled to retreat. More than one noteworthy figure, carefully finished and consistent and adding to the general merit of a remarkable first novel.”—The Living Age.
“Extremely clever and charming. It reminds one here and there of the manner of De Morgan, which is praise enough for anybody.”—Wm. Lyon Phelps, Professor of English Literature at Yale.
“Somewhat of the temperament of Miss Sinclair’s ‘The Divine Fire.’ ... One of those unusual novels which gather force as they advance. Will be one of the notable books of the season.”—Washington (D. C.) Star.
“A rarely interesting novel.”—Hartford Courant.
