“The book is delightful from first to last. Mr. Truscott tells his story daintily and lightly; but he is not merely a writer of graceful comedy. He understands men and women. Each one of his characters is a personage in his or her way, and there is a subtlety in the drawing of the hero and the heroine that gives the story reality.”—London World.

Miss Reed has carried her lively style and charming humor from letters and essays into the field of fiction. This is the story of a quaint corner of New England where more than one romance lies hidden underneath the prim garb of a little village.
