Sturgis, Howard Overing. All that was possible. †$1.50. Putnam.
A series of letters written by a woman who had sold her birthright for a mess of pottage. “The Earl of Medmenham was Sybil Croft’s first serious indiscretion; and when he took her from the stage and agreed to be responsible for her expenses, she justified herself by the belief that she really loved him. But when the Earl married, she realised that she was not in the least broken-hearted, philosophically accepted the modest settlement he offered her, and betook herself to a remote corner of Wales.” (Bookm.) Here Robert Henshaw finds her; “they fall in love,—she, uplifted by him, honourably; he, dragged down by her, dishonourably.” (Pub. Opin.).
