Johnston, Mary. [Goddess of reason] 7–16726. Miss Johnston’s first drama “opens in Brittany on a summer morning in 1791, and the curtain falls at the end on the banks of the Loire at Nantes. The plot is as skillfully devised to awaken and sustain interest from the beginning to the end as any of Miss Johnston’s stories, and not until the last scene does the reader face the solution to the problem. The play has a beautiful setting of terraces and ancient homes, and the refinement, dignity, and wit of the old order, set in striking contrast to the turbulence, the passion, the intense conviction, of the revolutionary movement.”—Outlook. “The piece is conceived in terms of romantic situation, and for that reason it is the most readable poetic drama in the popular sense of the word, that has lately been seen.” Ferris Greenslet.
