" ... A fine story, admirably told."—World.
"The best short stories written in English that we have read."—Times.
" ... Admirable alike as a story and as a presentation of human character.... We must not give away too many of the details of a story which, besides being well put together, is exceptionally well written."—Globe.
"Miss Cholmondeley's new book will distinctly add to an already high reputation.... We have rarely met in recent fiction two more thoroughly real and convincing characters than Lady Anne Varney and Wilson the millionaire.... It is rare indeed that any one displays so great an aptitude for the long and the short story, and Miss Cholmondeley can be heartily congratulated on her success in this volume."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"A delectable story. Here we have a high-born lady who really understands the meaning of love, and a millionaire who positively attracts—a rare thing in a novel. Life is portrayed as it is, not as the conventional fictionist imagines it, and portrayed with a genuine artistic touch."—Outlook.
