“Since Harland’s ‘The Cardinal’s Snuff Box’ there has been nothing to equal its clever and graceful merriment.”—New York Times.
“A delightful bit of romantic foolery.”—New York Evening Post.
“A very beautiful story, in which Mr. Watson has employed his gifts in the employment of language and the telling of a tale to excellent advantage.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
“The little tale is graceful to a degree, witty past expectation, and pervaded with an illusive spirit of poetry. It is nonsense ‘but quite precious nonsense,’ as Bunthorne used to say.”—Chicago Tribune.

This is the history of a love affair of a famous English beau in the time of George IV. The heroine is a ravishingly beautiful country girl, with whom the beau becomes infatuated. By the aid of her country lover she is rescued from the wiles of the fashionable dandy, and his schemes are thwarted.
“The story is on a high plane; it is a romance which is entirely free from the melodramatic quality; in a word, a novel that will enhance the author’s reputation as a writer of fiction of far more than ordinary attainments.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
“He has presented to us the only living beau we have met this many a year; and where so many hundreds have failed, to say this is the highest compliment we can pay his book.”—The Outlook.
