The Von Blumers are a young suburban couple whose efforts to accommodate “their prejudices and their tempers to one another” result in numerous capitulations of serio-comic aspect. “Mr. Masson’s novel fairly bubbles with humor of the quiet kind, but none the less effective because of its homeliness and truth to nature.” (Lit. D.)
