arm of that
romance.... Mr. Hope's heroes are never dull.... These 'Zenda'
stories have added a distinctly modern value to what men and women
mean by the 'sense of honor.'... The closing chapters are simply
written, elevated in sentiment, and an ideal solution of the fate
of _Flavia_ and _Rudolf_."
_Geo. W. Smalloy in New York Herald_: "A story which lays a spell
upon you. The animation is unceasing, and so, therefore, is the
interest.... Mr. Hope has not lost his old deftness in
dialogue.... The scene between the two men [Sapt and James] after
the murder ... is a masterpiece."
_New York Tribune_: "Everything moves swiftly and naturally to the
climax, upon which, we may add, Mr. Hope has wreaked himself with
a tact that is perhaps the best thing in the book.... It is
absorbing, and especially is it an excellent sequel, which is more
than can be said of most books of its kind."
_Springfield Republican_: "It is a question whether it does not
rival 'The Prisoner of Zenda' itself in excellence.... It strikes
a stronger and deeper note."
_Brooklyn Eagle_: "Has the ring of genuine humanity and true
romance."
_Chicago Tribune_: "Considered as a sequel, the book is
surprisingly good. It retains the spirit of 'Zenda,' is fertile in
invention, swift in movement, and is of a thrilling and absorbing
nature."

FOLLY CORNER
BY MRS. HENRY DUDENEY

A novel of love against reason in conflict with love conformable to
reason, worked out with all the power of the author's former novel, "The
Maternity of Harriot Wicken," but much more inviting in subject,
characters, and treatment. A distinct advance on that able work and full
of promise for the future of this rising author. Scene, Sussex to-day.
