_Dainty and full of delicate fancy, this new work of a favorite
writer charms by its manner, pleases by its cleverness, and interests
by its tale of true love, which sentiment is treated as the most
exalting of emotions, but without the slightest touch of materialism_
_A Book to be Enjoyed_
“With exquisite skill quite her own, the author individualizes in
this gracefully told story, the heart’s devotion as the most exalted
and exalting emotion. Miss Reed has the rare genius of attuning love
to thrilling heights without a touch of coarse materialism. Withal
she builds on a practical plane, since her characterization is
human.”--_Chicago Journal._
“A perfectly exquisite little tale, simply genuine, effecting and,
rarest of all, fragrant.... A dainty and beautiful little story, full
of the scent of lavender and of the atmosphere that clings to old
farmhouses, filled with colonial furniture and china.... In this book
all is beautiful, quiet, serene and charming; the story is touched
with the most human love, joy, suffering and tears.... The thing is a
gem, simply fresh, wholesome and artistic, even in its abundance of
humor and pathos, a book to refresh your soul.”--_Boston Herald._
