Mr. Chambers has surpa.s.sed himself in telling the tale of the love of Carus Renault and Lady Elsin Grey in this historical novel of the last days of the Revolutionary War. Never was there daintier heroine or more daring hero. Never did the honor of a great-hearted gentleman triumph to such an extent over the man. Never were there daintier love pa.s.sages in the midst of war. It is a book to make the pulses throb and the heart beat high.
