“In the portrayal of some of the characters, sometimes in the description of a scene, or again in the narrative which carries the story on, the author frequently drops into conventional, mechanical methods, and so lowers the grade of what would otherwise be a very excellent novel. But even so its construction is good, its movement rapid, its story interest well maintained, and its varied scenes are full of life and color that seem true and are certainly very interesting.”
