"Miss Benson has a delicious sense of humour, and her way of
describing people and things is most refreshing. With her
sympathy, her realism, her wit and ability, it would seem that
Miss Benson's possibilities are limitless."--_The Bookman_.

"In her second book she not only makes good, but betrays a
ripening talent."--_Daily Telegraph._

"The book shows one thing very clearly, that Miss Benson is a
force to be reckoned with."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.

"It is the second step of a very brilliant beginning ... You will
be foolish if you miss this book."--_Punch_.

"She has unusual originality, illuminating wit, deep feeling, and
a gift for startling epigram."--_Daily Graphic_.
