“Mrs. Drummond is an essentially feminine poet of fine insight and delicate sensibility. The chief gain in ‘The coming of Philibert’ is the dramatic action and force.” Louise Collier Willcox.

Wilkinson, Florence. Silent door. †$1.50. McClure.
7–10292.
A village story ... “which revolves about Justinian Penrith, incarnate genius of austerity, and a little child left ... upon his doorstep. Given a beautiful daughter who had fled from home some years previous for an affaire d’amour and whose whereabouts had baffled all search—and you have the key to ‘The silent door.’” (N. Y. Times.)
“In Miss Wilkinson’s novel ... one recognizes the promise rather than the achievement. The story taken as a whole is unimpressive. The plot is mildly preposterous, and none of the characters, not even little Rue herself, seems ever quite detachable from the printed page. But the details of Miss Wilkinson’s work are a constant delight.” Harry James Smith.

“The chief charm about Miss Wilkinson’s style is its absolute lack of hurry. It is seldom that one encounters such genuine charm in a volume constructed upon a plan so simple.”
