Courage, vengeance, devotion, and tenderness to the weak, are among the emotions effectively displayed.

“The technical mastery of Miss Dix is great, but her spiritual mastery is greater.  For this book lives in memory, and the spirit of its teachings is, in a most intimate sense, the spirit of its teacher....  Noble passion holding the balance between life and death is the motif sharply outlined and vigorously portrayed.  In each interlude the author has seized upon a vital situation and has massed all her forces so as to enhance its significance.”—­Boston Transcript. (Entire notice on application to the publishers.)

     “Highly dramatic episodes, treated with skill and art ... a high
     pitch of emotion.”—­New York Sun.

     “Complete and intense tragedies well plotted and well sustained,
     in dignified dialogue of persons of the drama distinctly
     differentiated.”—­Hartford Courant.

“It is a pleasure to say, without reservation, that the half dozen plays before us are finely true, strong, telling examples of dramatic art....  Sure to find their way speedily to the stage, justifying themselves there, even as they justify themselves at a reading as pieces of literature.”—­The Bellman.
