Lane, Elinor Macartney. All for the love of a lady; 6 full-page il. by Arthur Becher. †$1.25. Appleton.
“A tale of chivalrous love and dastardly conspiracy told with the grace that we should expect from the author of ‘Nancy Stair.’” (Ind.) Lady Iseult of Castle Carfrae has a quartette of lovers—two of whom are little Scotch lads of nine who swear fealty to their lady and defend her in the absence of her favored lover. “Incidentally the story is furnished with a villain, and a faithful old retainer in the person of a Scotch lawyer, who, by the help of the two dauntless midgets, rescues the maid from her danger and restores her to her true love.” (Outlook.)
“The sketch is one of the best things the author has written.”

“Every one of the six characters is marvelously well defined, there is much humor, much delightful talk, and a reality and naturalness about it all that speaks much for the writer’s skill—even genius.”
