"Although Octave Thanet never seems so thoroughly at home or so entirely happy as when she is depicting a Western gentleman with political aspirations and a standard of morality such as would make a cherubim shrink with envy, fortunately for her own fame and the pleasure of her readers, she has other themes. Some of the best of these are represented in this volume of short stories, in which, though there is nothing in the title to suggest originality, no one who knows the author's work will be surprised to find that the characters are for the most part as unlike the orthodox conception of lovers as they well could be."--The Bookman, April 1898, page 170
