PRESS OPINIONS.
Standard.—“Mr. Ranger-Gull is very clever. He can write well, even brilliantly.... Mr. Ranger-Gull opens his story vigorously, and his good spirits never flag. The book is brimful of cleverness.”
Sketch.—“The novel is well-constructed and brightly written. The reader will have only himself to blame if he does not get some good, hearty laughs.”
Daily Telegraph.—“The book is amusing, with sufficient plot to awaken the interest, though relying chiefly for its attraction upon its epigrammatic qualities. Mr. Ranger-Gull has put into the mouth of some of his characters remarkably witty and sparkling dialogue, which in itself raises the book above the general average.”
Daily Mail.—“Sprightly wit is the main feature of Mr. Ranger-Gull’s comedy. It is flippant, jocular, and epigrammatic. Readers who enjoy quips and repartee will find his pages full of them.”
Daily News.—“A smart and up-to-date novel. The book is readable, and a pleasant companion for a journey. The end, which is pure farce, is wholly delightful.”
Vanity Fair.—“It is as entertaining and highly spirited a story of Oxford life as one could wish.... Mr. Gull’s wit is always striking, and occasionally it fastens to its subject with very mordant force. The whole book is admirably clever, with no pages in it dull, and some so sparkling that they almost hurt the eye.”
British Weekly.—“It is certainly a very clever piece of fiction.”
