    the characters are living realities . Moreover , they are agreeable . Alison Dean is a very successful creation f true to lifeyet never insipid

    or ~ commonplace , , while Dr . Murdoch , is as fine X . a fellow as one could meet in a day ' s journey . The story is rather complicated , but is skilfully

    managed and the interest never flags . We shall be glad to meet Mr . Beresford again . From Messrs . Jarrold & Sons . —* Rambles in
