The New York Evening Post:—“This is a book which presents a not ungrateful challenge to the critic whose lot it is to deal with the ‘ordinary run’ of English and American fiction. It is, at all events, not dull. Perhaps one may best suggest its quality by naming it a story not for the young person: it has precisely that Gallic attribute of intelligibility. By this we do not mean the absolute worst; it is not a sheer deliberate salacity, framed for the indecent amusement of those who leer and giggle.”
San Francisco Examiner:—“A highly entertaining story.... It is one of those stories that once begun will not let itself be laid aside. The situations as they follow are dramatic, pathetic, and extremely well drawn.”
New York Sun:—“The epigrammatic cynicism of the text is clever and startling, the delineation of characters skilful and undisturbed by any restrictions of propriety in its frankness. ‘Man is fire and woman tow; the devil comes and sets them in a blaze,’ is the proverb upon which the tale is founded.”
