"The titular heroine of this novel hardly deserves her adjective: her envy is the mild envy of the childless woman for the mother of children, and of a successful novelette-writer for the genuine artist in literature. Otherwise Lady Eliza is a good fairy to Patricia Etchingham, who is the real heroine of the book. Her brother marries a girl who suddenly develops into a heartless flirt, and the plot of the novel rests on the difference which this marriage made in the position of Patricia."
-The Bookman, August, 1909
