There is a mystery in this story which “hovers around a haunted tower. The deus ex machina is a small boy with a cockney accent, a bona fide burglar (with a jimmy that he calls a James,) for a father, and a remarkable facility for climbing up precipices and other apparently impossible places, a facility, by the bye, which stands everybody in the book in good stead before the end is reached. Of course, the hero does nothing but pose and bluster. Of course, the heroine looks beautiful and suffers patiently, like the ‘hangel’ that she is to the small Tommy. And, of course, the small Tommy in question is, as anyone with half an imagination could guess, ‘The one who saw.’” (N. Y. Times.)
