Edition: New York & London: Harper & Brothers, 1904.

It is just the story of a man who is a born procrastinator, and who, added to this, has made the mistake of choosing an uncongenial trade; he is a glazier, when nature plainly intended to make him a gardener. ... The story deals with the resolution that the young wife makes to transform her man, in spite of himself, into a good, industrious, systematic business man. —From the review in The Bookman, Oct 1904.
