A moment of madness, and other stories (vol. 1 of 3)
Marryat, Florence
English fiction -- 19th century; Short stories, English
“... Will be welcomed by the large circle of Mrs. Cudlip’s
admirers. It is certainly in all respects equal to its
now numerous predecessors, and in many points superior to
many.”—_Graphic._
“Mrs. Pender Cudlip’s tale has great variety of scene and
incident.... None of the usual materials for the making of a
good novel are absent in ‘Friends and Lovers,’ and the author
has shown much skill in weaving a more than usually complicated
plot. This, united to the writer’s style, always full of
movement and brightness, will insure a large circle of readers
for her latest work.”—_Morning Post._
