The Third Degree: A Narrative of Metropolitan Life
Klein, Charles
City and town life -- Fiction
"A picture of the new West, at once startlingly and attractively true. *
* * The heroine is a strange, sweet mixture of pride, wilfulness and
lovable courage. The characters are superbly drawn; the atmosphere is
convincing. There is about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a
sturdiness that commends it to earnest, kindly and wholesome
people."--_Boston Transcript._
BRILLIANT AND SPIRITED NOVELS AGNES AND EGERTON CASTLE
Handsomely bound in cloth. Price, 75 cents per volume, postpaid.
THE PRIDE OF JENNICO. Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico.
"What separates it from most books of its class is its distinction of
manner, its unusual grace of diction, its delicacy of touch, and the
fervent charm of its love passages. It is a very attractive piece of
romantic fiction relying for its effect upon character rather than
incident, and upon vivid dramatic presentation."--_The Dial._ "A
stirring, brilliant and dashing story."--_The Outlook._
THE SECRET ORCHARD. Illustrated by Charles D. Williams.
The "Secret Orchard" is set in the midst of the ultra modern society.
The scene is in Paris, but most of the characters are English speaking.
The story was dramatized in London, and in it the Kendalls scored a
great theatrical success.
"Artfully contrived and full of romantic charm * * * it possesses
ingenuity of incident, a figurative designation of the unhallowed scenes
in which unlicensed love accomplishes and wrecks faith and
happiness."--_Athenaeum._
YOUNG APRIL. With illustrations by A. B. Wenzell.
"It is everything that a good romance should be, and it carries about it
an air of distinction both rare and delightful."--_Chicago Tribune._
"With regret one turns to the last page of this delightful novel, so
delicate in its romance, so brilliant in its episodes, so sparkling in
its art, and so exquisite in its diction."--_Worcester Spy._
FLOWER O' THE ORANGE. With frontispiece.
We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful in
form, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception. This Carries the
reader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of the
seventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures in
love as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost seeker of
romance may ask.
MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.
"In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which are
here gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all the
fragrant charm of those books, like _The Pride of Jennico_, in which
they first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny romances.
The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling as it is
artistic in execution."--_New York Tribune._
