for the summer. Incidentally I have learned something
about the inhabitants of Transylvania, but apart from
that I know now exactly what a novel for the holidays
should contain. Its ingredients are many and
rather wonderful, but Mrs. REYNOLDS is a deft mixer,
and her skill in managing no fewer than three love
affairs without getting them and you into a tangle
is little short of miraculous. Then we are given
plenty of legends, mysteries and dreams, just intriguing
enough to produce an eerie atmosphere, but not sufficiently
exciting to cause palpitations of the heart.
Need I add that the tenant of the castle married the
owner of it? As she was both human and sporting,
it worries me to think that she may now be interned.
