"The Green Carnation" was among the most amusing society sketches that
recent years have given us. After it Mr. Hichens, perhaps wisely,
devoted himself to much more serious work. In "The Londoners" he
returns to his original manner without making his burlesque so
personal. It is the story of a smart woman, wearied by her position
and its duties, who seeks to get out of society. The idea is an
original one, and when contrasted with the efforts of a second heroine
to get into society, the result is wholly delightful. The story has
already attained a considerable popularity.
