...Stella Rodney-have to learn is in the peculiar contemporary meanings of treason. Who is to be trusted, and why, and how far? It is appropriate that each of Miss Bowen's characters is engaged in secret work, for each is mysterious to the other. But before the end it is clear that each represents an important type of modern personality...
