"There are two important departments of the novelist's art in which
Marion Crawford is entirely at home. He can tell a love story better
than any one now living save the unapproachable George Meredith. And he
can describe the artistic temperament and the artistic environment with
a security born of infallible instinct."--_The New York Herald._

"This is not the first time that Mr. Crawford's pen has drawn the
conscious love of a pure girl for a man whose own heart she believed to
be untouched, yet, in the love of Marietta for the Dalmatian, we have
something that, while so utterly human, is so delicately revealed that
the reader must be a stoic indeed who does not take a delightful
interest in the fate of that love."--_New York Times._

"It suggests the bright shimmer of the moon on still waters, the soft
gliding of brilliant-hued gondolas, the tuneful voices of the gondoliers
keeping rhythmic time to the oar stroke and the faint murmuring of
lovers' vows lightly made and lightly broken."--_Richmond Dispatch._

"Furnishes another illustration of the author's remarkable facility in
assimilating different atmospheres, and in mastering, in a minute way,
as well as sympathetically, very diverse conditions of life.... The plot
is intricate, and is handled with the ease and skill of a past-master in
the art of story-telling."--_Outlook._

"The workshop, its processes, the ways and thought of the time,--all
this is handled in so masterly a manner, not for its own sake, but for
that of the story.... It has charm, and the romance which is eternally
human, as well as that which was of the Venice of that day. And over it
all there is an atmosphere of worldly wisdom, of understanding,
sympathy, and tolerance, of intuition and recognition, that makes Marion
Crawford the excellent companion he is in his books for mature men and
women."--_New York Mail and Express._
