“Susan, a beautiful and impossible maid, receives a letter proposing marriage to her from a young and imaginative peer, who has presumably fallen in love with her pretty face without ever having spoken to her. Susan, greatly embarrassed ... consults her mistress, who ends by conducting her correspondence for her, eventually falling in love with her correspondent. The climax comes when the young lord—his love fanned by the beauty of his lady’s letters—discovers that there has been a mistake, and that the girl whom he saw and loved is the mistress and not the maid.”—Sat. R.

“It is a dainty trifle, pleasantly written, but it has, in spite of its modern setting, no relation to the life and action of to-day. The story is developed with considerable skill and humour, and although it is written in the literary diary form, it is never tedious.”
