Little Miss Quincey, the pathetic old-maid teacher of mathematics, who has withered away under her daily drudgery and has never known youth or life, is the real heroine of this sad little story altho the personality of Rhoda, beautiful and brilliant, overshadows and eclipses her, and altho happiness, love and her beloved Mr. Cautley all pass her by. For “Nature has made up for any little extra outlay in one direction by cruel pinching in another.... Nature had indulged in Rhoda Vivian and she was making Miss Quincey pay.”
“Is one of the books which ought not to be missed.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
