Molesworth, Mrs. Mary Louise (Stewart) (Ennis Graham). Wrong envelope and other stories. $1.50. Macmillan.
“The principal story is called ‘That girl in black,’ and tells, among other things how Despard Morreys—cool, contemptuous, blasé—all but died of brain fever on being refused by the mysterious Miss Fforde, who is afterward discovered to be no less a person than Lady Margaret Fforde, daughter to the Earl of Southwold.... The other stories are similar in tone and subject, with the exception of ‘A strange messenger,’ which forsakes society for a colliery district, and treats of the supernatural. The concluding tale of the volume ‘A ghost of the Pampas,’ is by the late Mr. Bevil R. Molesworth, the author’s son.”—Ath.
“These are tales of a bygone pattern, somewhat flavourless and abounding in italics.”
