Mr. Sabatini's story does not depend
upon him and his weak struggle for the
throne of his fathers; he is only the peg
upon which the author hangs plot that
might be of any period and nation. Still,
his deft employment Of the social at
mosphere of the England Of George III,
with it's polished Continental Jacobite
affiliations, adds much to the charm OF
the narrative. The hero is a Stuart
agent, to be sure, but behind his secret
mission there lies a deeper private mo-

against whose consummation his sense
OF fair play, OF honor, warns him. Mr..
