Only three years have passed since that night when Fulvia made
confession to her father of what had happened. They pursued their
journey South on the following day, and presently arrived at what was
to be their home.
There, in profoundest quiet, they live, returning more and more to the
customs and the habits of their own land, throwing off more and more
the stamp of foreign life and an existence amongst aliens. They are not
without their joys, and they have at least rest for their souls.
Marchmont still lives; still hangs on to his fretful, joyless
existence. No word has ever passed between him and his wife. She has
not asked for a separation; he has not dared to suggest her to return
to him. Neither money nor written words have ever passed between them.
He has had himself conveyed to London; and his house is presided over
by a widowed sister, from Australia.
Letters pass between the Sicilian _castello_ and the old English
country house, and Minna thinks, from the tone of them, that perhaps
after a little time she may broach the project which is at present the
desire of her heart--a journey to Catania, and beyond, to see those
two who hold in her heart the same places as her brother Richard, and
her niece Rhoda, to whom she has to be mother. Up to now she has not
dared to hint at it, so intensely strong was the desire for solitude
and rest breathed through every one of Fulvia’s infrequent letters, and
echoed by those of her father. But Minna waits, and says, ‘The day will
come.’
Hans Riemann started off rather abruptly on his tour to the Caucasus,
with the firm intention of remaining away for a long time.
Signora Dietrich is noted for her works of charity, and for her
rigid, unbending adherence to the most strictly religious life which
can be led by one who is not actually in a cloister. Her house is a
resort of some of the most accomplished of the Roman clergy, and it
is known that, in a quiet way, she does an immense amount of work
for the Church. She is a clever woman, and her life at present is a
highly successful one. Intrigue, and the management of other people’s
affairs, and interference with them, are dependent on their subjects’
characters; undirected, they are apt to get into narrow grooves,
and the result of their labours is not, in that case, productive of
unmixed good--at least, to the mind of the vulgar--but manipulated by
the hands of authority, by such a Church as that of Rome, with proper
consideration and proper discipline, there is no knowledge of what
value they may become to their superiors, nor what satisfaction and
content they may secure for themselves.
For such a road in life Signora Dietrich was born; if she entered the
right path somewhat late, she at least strives to make up in zeal and
mature intelligence the wasted years which slipped by before she had
found her vocation.

educational system turns out yearly, provided at least with

ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN. By Amélie Rives, Author of

the reader on till he has read to the last page.”
THE PENANCE OF PORTIA JAMES. By Tasma, Author of “Uncle
Piper of Piper’s Hill,” &c.
_Athenæum._--“A powerful novel.”
_Daily Chronicle._--“Captivating and yet tantalising, this

fisher-folk. It is unquestionably interesting.”

revealing power of so high an order, marked by such evident
carefulness of workmanship, such skill in the powerful and yet
temperate presentation of passion, and in the sternly realistic
yet delicate treatment of difficult situations.”

publishing translations to the great contentment of all lovers of
literature.”
_Times._--“A venture which deserves encouragement.”
_Each Volume has an Introduction specially written by the Editor._
Price, in paper covers, 2_s._ 6_d._ each, or cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

interesting work published during the twelve months.”
PIERRE AND JEAN. From the French of Guy de Maupassant.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--“So fine and faultless, so perfectly

fiction”

Tolstoy.
_Manchester Guardian._--“Readable and well translated; full of
high and noble feeling.”

_Scottish Leader._--“The book is full of a glowing and living
realism.... There is nothing like ‘Fantasy’ in modern literature.”
FROTH. From the Spanish of Don Armando Palacio-Valdés.
_Daily Telegraph._--“Vigorous and powerful in the highest degree.
It abounds in forcible delineation of character, and describes
scenes with rare and graphic strength.”
FOOTSTEPS OF FATE. From the Dutch of Louis Couperus.
_Gentlewoman._--“The consummate art of the writer prevents this
tragedy from sinking to melodrama. Not a single situation is
forced or a circumstance exaggerated.”
PEPITA JIMÉNEZ. From the Spanish of Juan Valera.
_New Review_ (Mr. George Saintsbury):--“There is no doubt at all
that it is one of the best stories that have appeared in any
country in Europe for the last twenty years.”
THE COMMODORE’S DAUGHTERS. From the Norwegian of Jonas Lie.
_Athenæum._--“Everything that Jonas Lie writes is attractive and
pleasant; the plot of deeply human interest, and the art noble.”
THE HERITAGE OF THE KURTS. From the Norwegian of Björnstjerne Björnson.
_National Observer._--“It is a book to read and a book to think
about, for, incontestably, it is the work of a man of genius.”

THE SCAPEGOAT. By Hall Caine, Author of “The Bondman,” &c.
_Mr. Gladstone writes_:--“I congratulate you upon ‘The Scapegoat’
as a work of art, and especially upon the noble and skilfully
drawn character of Israel.”
_Times._--“In our judgment it excels in dramatic force all his
previous efforts. For grace and touching pathos Naomi is a
character which any romancist in the world might be proud to
have created.”
THE BONDMAN. A New Saga. By Hall Caine. Twentieth Thousand.
_Mr. Gladstone._--“‘The Bondman’ is a work of which I recognise
the freshness, vigour, and sustained interest no less than its
integrity of aim.”

power that is almost marvellous.”
DESPERATE REMEDIES. By Thomas Hardy, Author of “Tess of
the D’Urbervilles,” &c.

abundant skill.”
A MARKED MAN: Some Episodes in his Life. By Ada
Cambridge, Author of “Two Years’ Time,” “A Mere Chance,” &c.

heart, and an amount of tact that one rarely finds. Should take
a prominent place among the novels of the season.”
THE THREE MISS KINGS. By Ada Cambridge, Author of “A
Marked Man.”
_Athenæum._--“A charming study of character. The love stories
are excellent, and the author is happy in tender situations.”
NOT ALL IN VAIN. By Ada Cambridge, Author of “A Marked
Man,” “The Three Miss Kings,” &c.
_Guardian._--“A clever and absorbing story.”
_Queen._--“All that remains to be said is ‘read the book.’”
UNCLE PIPER OF PIPER’S HILL. By Tasma. New Popular
Edition.
_Guardian._--“Every page of it contains good wholesome food, which
demands and repays digestion. The tale itself is thoroughly
charming, and all the characters are delightfully drawn. We
strongly recommend all lovers of wholesome novels to make
acquaintance with it themselves, and are much mistaken if they
do not heartily thank us for the introduction.”
IN THE VALLEY. By Harold Frederic, Author of “The Lawton Girl,”
“Seth’s Brother’s Wife,” &c. With Illustrations.
_Times._--“The literary value of the book is high; the author’s
studies of bygone life presenting a life-like picture.”
PRETTY MISS SMITH. By Florence Warden, Author of “The
House on the Marsh,” “A Witch of the Hills,” &c.
_Punch._--“Since Miss Florence Warden’s ‘House on the Marsh,’ I
have not read a more exciting tale.”

and greater emotional depth than most of its predecessors.”
_Scotsman._--“Delightful reading, supremely interesting.”
MAMMON. A Novel. By Mrs. Alexander, Author of “The
Wooing O’t,” &c.
_Scotsman._--“The present work is not behind any of its predecessors.
‘Mammon’ is a healthy story, and as it has been thoughtfully written
it has the merit of creating thought in its readers.”
DAUGHTERS OF MEN. By Hannah Lynch, Author of “The
Prince of the Glades,” &c.
_Daily Telegraph._--“Singularly clever and fascinating.”
_Academy._--“One of the cleverest, if not also the pleasantest,

THE TIMES: A Comedy in Four Acts. With a Preface by the Author.
(Vol. I.)
_Daily Telegraph._--“‘The Times’ is the best example yet given
of Mr. Pinero’s power as a satirist. So clever is his work that it
beats down opposition. So fascinating is his style that we cannot
help listening to him.”

all the greater zest after the perusal of such admirable dialogue.”

THE PRINCESSE MALEINE: A Drama in Five Acts (Translated by
Gerard Harry), and THE INTRUDER: A Drama in One Act. By Maurice
Maeterlinck. With an Introduction by Hall Caine, and
a Portrait of the Author. Small 4to, cloth, 5_s._
_Athenæum._--“In the creation of the ‘atmosphere’ of the play
M. Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates
to us the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else
has done. In ‘The Intruder’ the art consists of the subtle
gradations of terror, the slow, creeping progress of the
nightmare of apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done
before--not even by Poe--not even by Villiers.”

Lyof Tolstoy. Translated from the Russian by E. J.
Dillon. With Introduction by A. W. Pinero. Small 4to,
with Portrait, 5_s._
_Pall Mall Gazette._--“The whole effect of the play is distinctly
Molièresque; it has something of the large humanity of the master.
Its satire is genial, almost gay.”
HEDDA GABLER: A Drama in Four Acts. By Henrik Ibsen.
Translated from the Norwegian by Edmund Gosse. Small
4to, cloth, with Portrait, 5_s._ Vaudeville Edition, paper,
1_s._ Also a Limited Large Paper Edition, 21_s._ _net_.
_Times._--“The language in which this play is couched is a model
of brevity, decision, and pointedness.... Every line tells, and
there is not an incident that does not bear on the action immediate
or remote. As a corrective to the vapid and foolish writing with
which the stage is deluged ‘Hedda Gabler’ is perhaps entitled to
the place of honour.”
