A love story, beginning in the Andamans. There is a lively picture of garrison life, including the clever portrait of the “leading lady” (and tyrant), Mrs. Creery. The lovers are separated by the scheming of an unsuccessful rival. The girl first lives a Cinderella life, with disagreeable relations in London, then is a governess, and finally (p. 256) goes to a relation in Ireland. Then there are amusing studies of Irish types—carmen (Larry Flood, with his famous “Finnigan’s mare”), and servants, and a family of broken-down gentry. Things come right in the end. ⸺ IN THE KINGDOM OF KERRY. (_Chatto & Windus_). 3_s._ 6_d._ 1896. “Seven sketchy little stories of poor folk, written in light and merry style.”—(_Baker_). ⸺ BEYOND THE PALE. (_Chatto & Windus_). 3_s._ 6_d._ and 6_d._ (N.Y.: _Fenno_). 0.50. 1897. Story of an Irish girl of good family, who is obliged to train horses for a living, but ends successfully. Scene: a hunting county three hours’ journey from Dublin.

(_Chatto & Windus_). 6_s._ Six illustr. by Sidney Paget. (N.Y.: _Buckles_). 1.25. 1899. Scene: an anglers’ hotel in Waterville, Co. Kerry, and the neighbourhood, which the Author knows and describes well. A tale of love and foolish jealousy. The personages belong to the Protestant upper classes. The chief interest is in the working out of the plot, which is well sustained all through. “Contains comedy of a broad and sometimes vulgar kind, turning on jealousy and scandal.”—(_Baker_ 2). ⸺ JOHANNA. Pp. 315. (_Methuen_). 1903. The story of a beautiful but very stupid peasant girl who, forced by a tyrannical stepmother to fly from her home in Kerry, sets off for Dublin. On the way she loses the address of the house she is going to, is snapped up by the keeper of a lodging-house, and there lives as a slavey a life of dreadful drudgery and of suffering from unpleasant boarders. ⸺ A NINE DAYS’ WONDER. Pp. 310. (_Methuen_). 6_s._ [1905]. How Mary Foley, brought up for twenty-one years in an Irish cabin, is suddenly claimed as his daughter by an English peer, and becomes Lady Joseline Dene. How she gives Society a sensation by her countrified speech and manners, and by her too truthful and pointed remarks, but carries it by storm in the end, and marries her early love. The writer has a good knowledge of the talk of the lower middle classes. There is no bias in the story, which is a thoroughly pleasant one. ⸺ LISMOYLE: an Experiment in Ireland. Pp. 384. (_Hutchinson_). 6_s._ 1914.
