“So many pretentious people write stupidly and ignorantly of fashionable life that it is a real pleasure to come across a novel by one who is thoroughly familiar with Society and all its little vanities. From this point of view ‘Sweetheart and Wife’ is a book which is likely to be in great demand at the circulating libraries for some time to come. It is a love story, told with charming simplicity and not a little power. Many of the descriptions are full of picturesque beauty, the dialogue is strikingly natural, and the plot is consistently and cleverly developed.”—Society.

“Compared with the former works of the authoress of ‘The Queen of Connaught’ this novel must be pronounced second to none.”—Graphic.
“The gradual building up of the incidents preceding the wedding and the dim foreshadowing of catastrophe are managed with such skill as to produce the greatest excitement of expectation.”—Sunday Times.
“Abounding in pathetic incidents and strongly dramatic situations.”—North British Daily Mail.
PHYLLIDA. By Florence Marryat, Author of “My Sister the Actress,” “A Broken Blossom,” &c., &c., &c.

“‘Phyllida’ is a novel of which the author may justly be proud.”—Morning Post.
