BY THE SAME AUTHOR:

THE
CHARMED CIRCLE

“Possessed of unusual strength and intensity. His characters are all sharply individualized and fit competently into the picture. They are interesting people and alive to the point of giddiness. Mr. Jewell has touched them with the fresh, electric buoyancy that distinguishes his book throughout.”—The Literary Review

“The extraordinary plot is the plot of a melodrama, but its handling is the work of a literary artist and an authentic humourist.”—The Chicago Evening Post

“As sunny as ‘Seventeen’ and as subtle as ‘The Age of Innocence.’ There will be thousands to delight in it, with tears and chuckles.”—Wilson Follett
