Stephens, Robert Neilson, and Westley, G: Hembert. Clementina’s highwayman: a romance. $1.50. Page.
7–27613.
The highwayman is a young lord whose fortune has been squandered in his absence by a rascally steward. He takes a dare to be a highwayman for a night for the spice of adventure there is in it, and gets himself into no end of trouble. The situations growing out of the wager make a lively little comedy of errors leading up to a romance whose course is interrupted by an unconscionable eighteenth century beau.
“Clementina is fascinating, her highwayman acts up to his part in fine style, and, incidentally, the reader gains many a realistic glimpse of the strenuous thing life was for even a plain citizen in the days of George II.”
