“Is one of the best short sensational stories we have read. The
mystery with which it deals is almost an unsolvable puzzle, and the
writing is far and above what we have been accustomed to in this sort
of book. It is rumoured that a dramatised version will shortly be seen
on the London boards, and we are glad of it, for a novel which lends
itself better to adaptation to the stage we have never seen.”—_Man of
the World._
