“The book is very well illustrated and printed and will be found an excellent thing to dip into and dally with in the spirit in which it was written. It is a book for the country house table.”

“His book demands not so much to be read from cover to cover as to be kept within easy reach of one’s most comfortable chair, to be opened at random, and browsed upon in the leisurely, epicurean way in which we can picture the author himself perusing his manuscripts. Nor are they altogether without their value for the historian.”

HINKSON, KATHARINE (TYNAN) (MRS HENRY ALBERT HINKSON). Love of brothers. *$1.75 (2c) Benziger
20–3710
Sir Shawn O’Gara had upbraided his dearest friend, his brother in affection, for having ruined—as he thought—a young girl of the people; and enraged beyond control at Terence Comerford’s careless laugh had lashed the spirited horse, Spitfire, Terence was riding, thus sending him to his death. The shadow of his remorse haunted Sir Shawn throughout his subsequent, unusually blest married life. Retribution overtook him when his own son fell in love with Terence Comerford’s supposedly illegitimate daughter, Stella, and when his horse Mustapha, grandson of Spitfire and as spirited as his ancestor threw and apparently killed him. But he lived and Stella was proven legitimate and of exceedingly fine metal for standing up for and openly loving her mother while still in disgrace.
