“In the story we meet ... the Southern life of an earlier day: hot-tempered men and gracious women, trusty slaves, negro-hunting whites, the grocery-store-town-meeting, and the open-air court of justice. The love-story, however, is the thing and is young, Arcadian, rough-running, happily arriving. Mr. Page explains that it is a story enlarged; explicitly not a novel, but ‘a love story, pure and simple,’ and such it will be found.”—Nation.

“It is a story pure and sweet amid the poisonous blossoms of fiction that nowadays spring thick, an idyll of loyalty and of love, thrilled through and through with ‘the tender grace of a day that is dead.’”

“The most appreciative comment that can be made on this story is that he has not spoiled it; the old charm still lingers.”
