PAULINE went away with Monica to spend the rest of August and the beginning of September in the depths of the country, where however for all the stillness of the ripe season she did not find very great peace. In every lane, in every wood, below the brow of every hill she was always half-expecting to meet Guy. It was not until Monica was going to her sisterhood and that she came back to see TO LET staring from the windows of Plashers Mead that Pauline was able at last to realize what she had irrevocably done.
On the day after her return Pauline went to see Miss Verney. To her she explained that the engagement was at an end.
"I heard something about it," said Miss Verney. "And feeling sure that it was doubtless on account of money, I must very impertinently beg you to accept this."
Pauline looked at the packet the old maid had thrust into her hand.
"Those are deeds," said Miss Verney importantly. "I have felt for some time past that I do not really need all my money. My income, you know, is very nearly £250 a year. £100 would be ample, and therefore I hope you will accept the surplus."
"My darling Miss Verney," said Pauline, "it could not be."
But the old maid was with very great difficulty persuaded of the impossibility.
"And you mean to say," she gasped, "that you are never going to see each other again?"
"Oh, sometimes," Pauline whispered, "sometimes I wonder if it could really happen that Guy and I should never meet again. Please don't let's talk about it. I shall come and see you often, but you mustn't ever talk about Guy and me, will you?"
"I shall put this money aside," Miss Verney announced, "because I am most anxious to prove that £100 a year is ample for me. Extravagance has always been my temptation!"
Later in the afternoon Pauline left her friend and went down Wychford High Street toward home. There were great wine-dark dahlias in the gardens, and the bell was sounding for Evensong. She knelt behind a pillar, all of the congregation. How through this winter that was coming she would love her father and mother. And if Guy ever came back ... if Guy ever came back....
She heard her father's voice dying away with the close of the Office; and presently they walked about the golden churchyard, arm-in-arm.
"I shouldn't be surprized to see Sternbergia Lutea this year," he observed. "We have had a lot of sun."
"Have we?" Pauline sighed.
"Oh, yes, a great deal of sun."
Her father of course would never speak of that broken engagement, and already she had made her mother promise never to speak of it again. Deep to her inmost heart only these familiar vales and streams and green meadows would speak of it for the rest of her life.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF
SINISTER STREET
By COMPTON MACKENZIE
PUNCH:
"I shall not easily forget the delightful revelation of a new power that was given me by Mr. Compton Mackenzie's 'Carnival.' 'Sinister Street' confirms and heightens my estimate of its author.... As a study of the education of character it is already a masterpiece.... It is not my habit lightly to prophesy fame; but after these two books I am prepared to wager that Mr. Mackenzie's future is bound up with what is most considerable in English fiction."
EVENING STANDARD:
"Not without complacency we remember that, in noticing 'Carnival,' we suggested that Mr. Mackenzie's next novel would mark a critical stage in his career. We are complacent because the author has largely fulfilled the promise of that arresting novel. He has passed the critical stage, and whatever happens now nothing can deprive him of the honour of being the author of 'Sinister Street.'"
MORNING POST:
"'Sinister Street' has indeed interested us profoundly, as the intimate study of the infancy and boyhood of a singularly attractive lad.... Its picture of West Kensington life, and its attempt to describe the atmosphere of the Public School which dominates the social life of West Kensington are really remarkable."
TIMES:
"We do not wish it any shorter, for it is almost wholly delightful in itself."
STANDARD:
"In his pages there is not one which even a reviewer could wish to skip.... The architecture of the book is superb."
DAILY EXPRESS:
"'Sinister Street' is a fine novel, an achievement far removed from the average easy banality."
MANCHESTER GUARDIAN:
"As difficult a task as fiction could undertake; but Mr. Mackenzie's tact and insight and comprehension have brought him through with brilliant success.... Something we would not willingly have missed."
MARTIN SECKER, NUMBER FIVE JOHN STREET, ADELPHI
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF
CARNIVAL By COMPTON MACKENZIE
ATHENÆUM:
"Mr. Mackenzie's second novel amply fulfils the promise of his first.... Its first and great quality is originality. The originality of Mr. Mackenzie lies in his possession of an imagination and a vision of life that are as peculiarly his own as a voice or a laugh, and that reflect themselves in a style which is that of no other writer.... A prose full of beauty."
PUNCH:
"After reading a couple of pages I settled myself in my chair for a happy evening, and thenceforward the fascination of the book held me like a kind of enchantment. I despair, though, of being able to convey any idea of it in a few lines of criticism.... As for the style, I will only add that it gave me the same blissful feeling of security that one has in listening to a great musician.... In the meantime, having recorded my delight in it, I shall put 'Carnival' upon the small and by no means crowded shelf that I reserve for 'keeps.'"
OUTLOOK:
"In these days of muddled literary evaluations, it is a small thing to say of a novel that it is a great novel; but this we should say without hesitation of 'Carnival,' that not only is it marked out to be the reading success of its own season, but to be read afterwards as none but the best books are read."
OBSERVER:
"The heroic scale of Mr. Compton Mackenzie's conception and achievement sets a standard for him which one only applies to the 'great' among novelists."
ENGLISH REVIEW:
"An exquisite sense of beauty with a hunger for beautiful words to express it."
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS:
"The spirit of youth and the spirit of London."
NEW YORK TIMES:
"We hail Mr. Mackenzie as a man alive—who raises all things to a spiritual plane."
MR. C. K. SHORTER in the SPHERE:
"'Carnival' carried me from cover to cover on wings."
NEW AGE:
"We are more than sick of it."
MARTIN SECKER, NUMBER FIVE JOHN STREET, ADELPHI
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF
THE PASSIONATE ELOPEMENT
By COMPTON MACKENZIE
TIMES:
"We are grateful to him for wringing our hearts with the 'tears and laughter of spent joys.'"
SPECTATOR:
"As an essay in literary bravura the book is quite remarkable."
COUNTRY LIFE:
"In the kindliness, the humour and the gentleness of the treatment, it comes as near to Thackeray as any man has come since Thackeray."
DAILY CHRONICLE:
"Thanks for a rare entertainment! And, if the writing of your story pleased you as much as the reading of it has pleased us, congratulations too."
GLOBE:
"A little tenderness, a fragrant aroma of melancholy laid away in lavender, a hint of cynicism, an airy philosophy—and so a wholly piquant, subtly aromatic dish, a rosy apple stuck with cloves."
GLASGOW NEWS:
"Fresh and faded, mocking yet passionate, compact of tinsel and gold is this little tragedy of a winter season in view of the pump room.... Through it all, the old tale has a dainty, fluttering, unusual, and very real beauty.'"
ENGLISH REVIEW:
"All his characters are real and warm with life. 'The Passionate Elopement' should be read slowly, and followed from the smiles and extravagance of the opening chapters through many sounding and poetical passages, to the thrilling end of the Love Chase. The quiet irony of the close leaves one smiling, but with the wiser smile of Horace Ripple who meditates on the colours of life."
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE:
"Mr. Mackenzie's book is a novel of genre, and with infinite care and obvious love of detail has he set himself to paint a literary picture in the manner of Hogarth. He is no imitator, he owes no thanks to any predecessor in the fashioning of his book.... Mr. Mackenzie recreates (the atmosphere) so admirably that it is no exaggeration to say that, thanks to his brilliant scene-painting, we shall gain an even more vivid appreciation of the work of his great forerunners. Lightly and vividly does Mr. Mackenzie sketch in his characters ... but they do not on that account lack personality. Each of them is definitely and faithfully drawn, with sensibility, sympathy, and humour."
MARTIN SECKER, NUMBER FIVE JOHN STREET, ADELPHI
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF
KENSINGTON RHYMES
By COMPTON MACKENZIE
SATURDAY REVIEW:
"These are particularly jolly rhymes, that any really good sort of a chap, say a fellow of about ten, would like. Mr. J. R. Monsell's pictures are exceptionally jolly too.... If we may judge by ourselves, not only the children, but the grown-ups of the family will be enchanted by this quite delightful and really first-rate book."
DAILY MAIL:
"Among the picture-books of the season, pride of place must go to Mr. Compton Mackenzie's 'Kensington Rhymes.' They are full of quiet humour and delicate insight into the child-mind."
OBSERVER:
"Far the best rhymes of the year are 'Kensington Rhymes,' by Compton Mackenzie, almost the best things of the kind since the 'Child's Garden of Verse.'"
ATHENÆUM:
"Will please children of all ages, and also contains much that will not be read without a sympathetic smile by grown-ups possessed of a sense of humour."
TIMES:
"The real gift of child poetry, sometimes almost with a Stevensonian ring."
OUTLOOK:
"What Henley did for older Londoners, Mr. Compton Mackenzie and Mr. Monsell have done for the younger generation."
STANDARD:
"Our hearts go out first to Mr. Compton Mackenzie's 'Kensington Rhymes.'"
SUNDAY TIMES:
"Full of whimsical observation and genuine insight, 'Kensington Rhymes' by Compton Mackenzie are certainly entertaining."
EVENING STANDARD:
"Something of the charm of Christina Rossetti's."
VOTES FOR WOMEN:
"They breathe the very conventional and stuffy air of Kensington. ... We are bound to say that the London child we tried it on liked the book."
