"That the discriminating ought to approve the book is
unquestionable ... written with a delicacy of style and a happiness
of expression that very few essayists of to-day possess ...
peculiarly dainty work.... The moods in 'Carisabel's' book are as
many as the moods of a woman, but always in comedy and pathos,
there are the same tenderness and delicacy. The book is distinctly
worth reading."
