"Dorothy Vernon is an Elizabethan maid, but a living, loving, lovable
girl.... The lover of accuracy of history in fiction may rest contented
with the story; but he will probably care little for that once he has
been caught by the spirit and freshness of the romance."--_The Mail and
Express._

"Dorothy is a splendid creation, a superb creature of brains, beauty,
force, capacity, and passion, a riot of energy, love, and red blood. She
is the fairest, fiercest, strongest, tenderest heroine that ever woke up
a jaded novel reader and made him realize that life will be worth living
so long as the writers of fiction create her like.... The story has
brains, 'go,' virility, gumption, and originality."--_The Boston
Transcript._

"Dorothy is a fascinating character, whose womanly whims and cunning
ways in dealing with her manly, honest lover and her wrathful father are
cleverly portrayed. The interest is maintained to the end. Some might
call Dorothy a vixen, but she is of that rare and ravishing kind who
have tried (and satisfied) men's souls from the days of Mother Eve to
the present time."--_The New York Herald._

"A romance of much delicacy, variety, strength, and grace, in which are
revealed the history of four lovers who by their purely human attributes
are distinct types."--_Evening Journal News_, Evansville.

"As a study of woman, the incomprehensible, yet thoroughly lovable,
Dorothy Vernon clearly leads all recent attempts in fiction. Dorothy is
a wonderful creature."--_Columbus Evening Dispatch._

"Dorothy is a feminine whirlwind, very attractive to her audience if
somewhat disconcerting to her victims, and the story, even in these days
when romance has become a drug, makes good reading."--_New York Life._

"The book is especially adapted to boys, but the well-rounded style of
the author, combined with a little natural history, makes it at once
interesting and instructive to young and old alike."--_Plymouth Weekly._
