The author almost succeeds in making the reader believe that he is
actually mingling with the people of the story and attending their
picnics and parties. Some of them are Dickensian and quaint, some
of them splendid types of to-day, but all of them are touched off
with sympathy and skill and with that gentle humor in which Mr.
Lucas shows the intimate quality, the underlying tender humanity,
of his art.
