“The plot is intricate. Event follows upon event with breathless haste—plot and counterplot for the restoration of the Stuart king, for the life of Marlborough, for the love of Isabel. The atmosphere is one of suspicion, apprehension, fear, unrest, for all concerned.”—Chicago Post.
“Teeming with action and incident, and the dialogue is clever.”—Chicago Chronicle.
The Housewives of Edenrise.
By Florence Popham. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“Worth reading for its deft touches of sentiment and humor.”—Rochester Democrat.
“The Edenrise ladies, sure of sympathy and comprehension, speak unhesitatingly their thoughts, unaware that among them is one who is so far an outsider as to be capable of drawing their conversational portraits for a delighted world. The temptation to quote is great, but it is dangerous to begin where it would be so easy to be drawn on to great lengths. No inconsiderable part of the amusement in this book is furnished by the children, who are as irresistibly human and lifelike as their parents.”—New York Times Saturday Review.
