The story of a likable youth, who returning to New York from South America, is welcomed as a son by a family of strangers ($1.25).
"One of the best of the lighter novels of the season.... The situations are developed with humor and cleverness, and the reader's interest is held to the dénouement. Mrs. Miller has a pleasant gift of story telling and a knack of mixing cleverness, humor, and sentiment in just the proper proportions."—N. Y. Times Review.
"If you can absent yourself from this before it is ended, your bump of curiosity must be insignificant.... The story is witty, terse, and swift. The characterization is surprisingly sharp and vivacious.... In fact the young woman in the case comes pretty near being a very memorable creature.... Whenever she appears the sparks fly. So crisp is the dialogue, so unconventional the action."—Nation.
"It keeps the reader quietly chuckling even when matters of love and life and death hang in the balance ... all done so delicately and in such good taste that the reader's sense of propriety is never shocked."—Putnam's Magazine.
"Admirably written and full of interest.... The story is ingenious. It has quick turns and surprises. It is very well done."—New York Sun.
"A delightful story ... romantic and capital reading."—Baltimore Sun.
