SPEAKER.—“A charming bit of social comedy, tinged with just a suspicion of melodrama.... The atmosphere of the story is so bright and genial that we part from it with regret.”
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—“At once ingenious, symmetrical, and entertaining.... Miss Price’s fascinating romance.”
LITERATURE.—“A simple, but very pleasant story.”
SPECTATOR.—“The notion of an orphan heiress, the daughter of an Earl, and the cynosure of two London seasons, flying precipitately from her guardians, who are endeavouring to force her into a match with a man she detests, and hiding herself under an assumed name in a remote rural district of the Midlands, is an excellent motive in itself, and gains greatly from the charm and delicacy of Miss Price’s handling.”
ACADEMY.—“A quiet country book in the main, with more emotion than action, and continuous interest.”
Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
