Hinkson, Katharine Tynan. For Maisie. †$1.25. McClurg.
The title sounds the keynote of this story in which an uncouth foster father turns all of his courage and indomitable will to the task of amassing wealth for Maisie. While under his determined hand ruthless industry obliterates the landmarks that tradition and sentiment hold dear, yet right is right and integrity rules him. Maisie, obedient, ambitious, proud-spirited, learns in time that she is kin to the lords and ladies of the adjoining estates.
“Not one solitary event bears the faintest likeness to anything in real life. As a mere narrator, however, she is smooth, practised, and totally unobjectionable.”
