have for the most part the sunny luxuriance

of the South of France, of Italy,

and of North Africa. The types of

character—heroes, heroines, and

supernumeraries are as varied as the

settings of the stories. Mr. Phillpotts’

heroines are singularly attractive,

now by their beauty and their ardor,

now by their gentleness and purity.
