Deakin, Dorothea. “Georgie.” †$1.50. Century.
Broad shouldered, blond, boyish, frankly engaging, and wholly sincere in each passing fancy, Georgie succeeds in becoming engaged to any number of nice girls, sometimes in quick succession and sometimes all at once. The story of his loves is amusing and it is interesting to see how one can be such a trifler and still remain a gentleman at heart. As for Violet, pretty as paint, Druscilla, plain Anne, the goddess girl, Phillida, Dolly and the little Puritan, their cause needs no sympathy.
“But though belonging to the bubbles of bookmaking, the story is of an ingratiating kind, and serves to wreathe an hour in half-protesting smiles.”

“Making no pretensions that are not fulfilled, they disarm criticism and succeed in their mission of being diverting.”

“Such a book might easily be made silly, but in fact this is thoroughly amusing.”
