...dive, she saw a woman standing on the shore. Would Mrs. McPherson come with her to see a dying baby? In a sedan parked by the shore, another woman sat holding a bundle baby-wise; she got into the car, a coat was thrown over her head, a sickly sweet odor sickened her. . . . She woke somewhere in a cot at dawn. Two men stood over her. One of them was named Steve. The woman's name was Rose. They told her that she could go free as soon as her mother (Mrs. Minnie Kennedy) or her congregation raised...
...author of Ariel (that rare book) has here expended his remarkable power of lucid biographical romancing upon two fruitless subjects out of the three chosen. The power remains admirable, but the reading palls. The young Goethe's windy sentimentality for Charlotte Buff is shown translating itself into that sweet and sticky opus, The Sorrows of the Young Werther.

The volcano bursts all over the middle of the sweet sentiment and ends the picture vigorously enough...
...last week, at Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, Mass.). The young ladies performed a pageant adapted from The Faerie Queen,* that poetic conceit of a "sweet wit and pretty invention" which young Edmund Spenser wrote to flatter Queen Elizabeth while he was helping to pacify her province of Ireland. Miss Lorraine Keck galloped right nobly as the Red Cross Knight to rescue pretty Helen Howard (Una) from the unspeakable machinations of Ivy Trace (Archimago) and her vicious minions. "Eftsoones they heard a most melodious sound," the college musicians rendering appropriate strains from Meyerbeer, Gounod, Arens, Liszt or Wagner...
