Indiscretion of the Duchess

"e;The Indiscretion of the Duchess"e; may be classed with "e;The Prisoner of Zenda,"e; and shares with that story the unabated interest from first page to last, and the superb handling of the romantic and adventurous. Even if this book had been published anonymously, a mistake as to its author's identity would have been impossible: Mr. Hope's touch as we have learned to know it is here on every page, almost in every line, and a successful touch it is, indeed. The book furnishes pleasant reading; it is one of those rare boons-a story that will rest and refresh the brain of any person whose occupation involves continuous and serious mental work.
