Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from For a Night: The Maid of the Dawber Complements
It would be merely trite to refer to the maid of the dawber and her master as studies of character. So much goes under that phrase in our days of the science of this and that. The dramatic manner in which the author carries theintrinsic level of caste through this ih eident, or rather weaves the incident to indicate the level of caste, is one of the good things of literature and carries conviction.
And that delightful bit of fooling which he conceived in Les Repoussoirs, though scarcely as vital and essential as the former, surely has a charm of its own. The juxtaposition of the nonsense and the pity of it, just as in real life, do thrill.
