The book contains some very strong scenes, plenty of
life and color, and a pleasant tinge of humor.... It
has grip, picturesqueness, and vivacity."--_The Speaker
(London)._

humor both play their parts. The descriptions of life

A historical romance of great vigor and interest. The

guarantee of the production of a volume of fiction
which will take very high rank.
