“There are few heroines in latter-day American fiction comparable with charming Mildred Gascoyne.”—Philadelphia North American.
“The dialogue is bright and sparkling, the characters interesting, and the plot sufficiently exciting. The woman in question, young, beautiful, and spirited, is involved in mystery, the unfolding of which introduces some thrilling episodes.”—Boston Evening Transcript.
