Phrynette is seventeen, extremely clever and naive, and attractive in every way. The death of her French father in Paris leaves her an orphan, and she goes to London to live with an aunt of Scotch descent. Her impressions of the people, the happenings and the places she becomes familiar with, peculiarities of customs and every little thing of interest are all touched upon in a charming and original manner, while in places there is irresistible humor. Throughout there is a good solid love story, and the ending is all that is to be desired.
"A very charming novel."—San Francisco Argonaut.
"Original, clever and extremely well-written."—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
"Refreshingly original and full of wholesome mirth. To say that the book is delightful reading is understating the fact."—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The Lady of the Spur
The scenes of this delightful romance are set in the south-western part of New Jersey, during the years 1820-30. An unusual situation develops when Tom Bell, a quondam gentleman highwayman, returns to take up the offices of the long-lost heir, Henry Morvan. Troubles thicken about him and along with them the romance develops. Through it all rides "The Lady of the Spur" with a briskness, charm, and mystery about her that give an unusual zest to the book from its very first page.
