de Quercy. with a head full of dreams
and poetic imaginings.
Charles meets with an accident and
Is taken into the house OF a French
noble of the ancient regime. One of
the best bits in the book is descrip-
ton OF dinner at this house. when
the faded old marquises and counts
gather and, wholly Obvious of the
present try to recreate the atmosphere
that France has discarded forever.
But the book is not all ballroom or
banquet hall. There is an abundance
OF adventure. of violence and of hair
breadth escapes. There is also a very
Fetching heroine, a sort of French Di
Vernon, who is beloved by wild
young Frenchman as strong and as
reckless as Richard the Lion Hearted
Diana loves him, too, and she in turn
is loved by young De Quercy, who,
however, does not win her, although
he Is much better and much more at
tractive than the Frenchman.
1t was an artistic mistake not to
have made the Englishman the VIC

a far greater appeal. Nevertheless
the romance Is extremely well written
and is one of the best works of the

apparently innocent; yet it had the

And then, after full minnie of ST.
