"Miss Twells is evidently a woman of extensive mental resources, who thinks deeply and clearly. Her story commands admiration and consequent attention from the first.

"We have an admirable study of an old Scotch minister oppressed by the consciousness of a very venial fault in a small financial transaction. The tone is one of cheerful humor, the incidents are skilfully devised, verisimilitude is never sacrificed to effect, every episode is true to life."--Philadelphia Press.
