“A rare book, exquisite in spirit and conception, full of delicate fancy, of tenderness, of delightful humor and spontaneity. The story is too dainty, too delicate for analysis.... It is a book to be enjoyed, and it is so suitably clad that its charm is enhanced.”—Detroit Free Press.

“With exquisite skill, quite her own, the author individualizes in this gracefully told story, the heart’s devotion as the most exalted and exalting emotion. Miss Reed has the rare genius of attuning love to thrilling heights without a touch of coarse materialism. Withal she builds on a practical place, since her characterization is human.”—Chicago Journal.

A magazine of epigrams for a rapid-firing gun.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.

“Miss Reed’s books are exquisite prose poems—words strung on thought-threads of gold—in which a musician tells his love for one whom he has found to be his ideal. The idea is not new, but the opinion is ventured that nowhere has it been one-half so well carried out. The ecstacy of hope, the apathy of dispair, alternate in these enchanting letters, without one line of cynicism to mar the beauty of their effect.”—Rochester Herald.
