A powerful piece of story-telling. Mr. Doyle has the gift of description, and he knows how to make fiction seem reality.—Independent, N. Y.

Transcribers' Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Page 84: "extragavances" probably is a misprint for "extravagances".
Page 245: "eastern ness" was printed as two words.
