And although, as he said them, his hand was clenched so that his fingers cut the palm, yet, because he gave thanks, Robert Trenholme was nearer than he knew to being a holy man.
THE END.
THE ONE GOOD GUEST.
A NOVEL. By L.B. Walford
”It is a delightful picture of life at an English estate, which is presided over by a young 'Squire' and his young sister. Their experiences are cleverly told, and the complications which arise are amusing and interesting. There are many humorous touches, too, which add no slight strength to the story.”--BOSTON TIMES.
”A charming little social comedy, permeated with a refinement of spontaneous humor and brilliant with touches of shrewd and searching satire.”--BOSTON BEACON.
”The story is bright, amusing, full of interest and incident, and the characters are admirably drawn. Every reader will recognize a friend or acquaintance in some of the people here portrayed. Every one will wish he could have been a guest at Duckhill Manor, and will hope that the author has more stories to tell.”--PUBLIC OPINION.
”A natural, amusing, kindly tale, told with great skill. The characters are delightfully human, the individuality well caught and preserved, the quaint humor lightens every page, and a simple delicacy and tenderness complete an excellent specimen of story telling.”--PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.
”For neat little excursions into English social life, and that of the best, commend us to the writer of 'The One Good Guest,'”--N.Y. TIMES.

BEGGARS ALL.
A NOVEL. By Miss L. Dougall.
”This is one of the strongest as well as most original romances of the year.... The plot is extraordinary.... The close of the story is powerful and natural.... A masterpiece of restrained and legitimate dramatic fiction.”--LITERARY WORLD.
”To say that 'Beggars All' is a remarkable novel is to put the case mildly indeed, for it is one of the most original, discerning, and thoroughly philosophical presentations of character that has appeared in English for many a day.... Emphatically a novel that thoughtful people ought to read ... the perusal of it will by many be reckoned among the intellectual experiences that are not easily forgotten.”--BOSTON BEACON.
”A story of thrilling interest.”--HOME JOURNAL.
”A very unusual quality of novel. It is written with ability; it tells a strong story with elaborate a.n.a.lysis of character and motive ... it is of decided interest and worth reading.”--COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, N.Y.
”It is more than a story for mere summer reading, but deserves a permanent place among the best works of modern fiction. The author has struck a vein of originality purely her own.... It is tragic, pathetic, humerous by turns.... Miss Dougall has, in fact, scored a great success.
Her book is artistic, realistic, intensely dramatic--in fact, one of the novels of the year.”--BOSTON TRAVELLER.
”'Beggars-All' is a n.o.ble work of art, but is also something more and something better. It is a book with a soul in it, and in a sense, therefore, it may be described as an inspired work. The inspiration of genius may or may not he lacking to it, but the inspiration of a pure and beautiful spirituality pervades it completely ... the characters are truthfully and powerfully drawn, the situations finely imagined, and the story profoundly interesting.”--CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
