Discrepant world: being an essay in fiction by the author of “Through spectacles of feeling.” $2. Longmans.
“The scene is a Scottish village; there is a real story; there are several real characters from a lord to a pussy-cat that purred ‘three threads and a thrum;’ there are incidents as startling as a murder, and there are many deaths.... The author puts his folks into promising dilemmas, then ... has recourse to nature’s method—always ready. Fortunately the story is told with nature’s own simplicity, and the resultant for the reader is a vast cheerfulness in woe.”—Nation.
