"This is a striking little book—striking in its simplicity and penetration, its passion and restraint."—London Times.

"Its characters are real, their motives and actions thoroughly human. And the author's art is sufficient to bring out the strength of every situation."—The Argonaut.

"It is, of course, the extraordinary directness with which Mrs. Wharton's probe goes to the spot under inspection, the deftness with which she is able to bring to the light of day what we had hidden even from ourselves, that account for the admiration with which we regard her short stories."

A play in five acts by. Translated from the German by.
