An unusual situation is handled by the author here. To free herself from drudgery and poverty as well as the retinue of ineligibles which her mother has forced upon her, an impulsive girl engages herself to a mere boy and later finds out that it is his father, the wizard of the violin, whom she loves, notwithstanding the fact that there is a wife. “The book is really a study of the artistic temperament.”
