A Reviewer, writing in the Westminster Gazette in defence of the Short Story, says: "Above all, let him take 'The Lowest Rung' and 'The Hand on the Latch' from Miss Mary Cholmondeley's latest volume, and fling them down as his last and most convincing proof.

"Of these last two stories it is difficult to speak too highly, for, of their kind, they are so nearly perfect."

"For the three stories contained in the volume we have nothing but praise; they are full of what might be called picturesqueness, and the author has the rare art of making everything in a story lead up to the effect—the final pull, as it were, that unties the whole knot—which she is keeping up for the end."
