"It is a pleasure to have anything so perfect of its kind as this brief and vivid story.... It is doubly a success, being full of human sympathy, as well as thoroughly artistic in its nice balancing of the unusual with the commonplace, the clever juxtaposition of innocence and guilt, comedy and tragedy, simplicity and intrigue."--Critic.
"Of all the stories Mr. Crawford has written, it is the most dramatic, the most finished, the most compact.... The taste which is left in one's mind after the story is finished is exactly what the fine reader desires and the novelist intends.... It has no defects. It is neither trifling nor trivial. It is a work of art. It is perfect."--Boston Beacon.
MARION DARCHE.
"Full enough of incident to have furnished material for three or four stories.... A most interesting and engrossing book. Every page unfolds new possibilities, and the incidents multiply rapidly."--Detroit Free Press.
"We are disposed to rank 'Marion Darche' as the best of Mr. Crawford's American stories."--The Literary World.
