“Apparently the chief matter [of this tale] is the feud—a paltry quarrel over some five hundred acres of Adirondack woodland, which the young American refuses to sell even to a buyer of such distinction as her ladyship of Baslehurst. Really, however, the chief matter is the interest the English-bred Penelope takes in the American enemy. The story goes of itself, runs away with itself almost. There is a storm, a haunted house, some dog shooting, much trespassing, and more lovemaking.”—N. Y. Times.
