The Nation, April 2, 1908, (p. 309): No one who has read "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "The Dolly Dialogues" can resist the temptation to take up a book by Mr. Hawkins, in the hope that he may have matched or surpassed those earlier successes. Too often the result has been disappointment—as it is in this case. The volume is made up of short stories, good enough for magazines, but distinctly not worth publication in permanent form. "Love's Logic" is a scrap of very thin dialogue, wisely buried in the middle of the book. The four best tales are "Mrs. Thistleton's Princess," "The Necessary Resources," "Miss Gladwin's Chance," and "The Prince Consort"; the other eleven are easy to read, because they are short; and easier to forget, because they are without distinction. The book [by The McClure Co.] is carelessly proof-read and printed.
