...third "Travel Paper of Arminius," is literary chat of a cheerful and graceful sort, showing observation and descriptive skill. "Arlin the Thief" is written in clear, straightforward English but with somewhat inadequate power. In "The Vision of Unfulfilled Desire" the dialogue is not thoroughly effective; but the study of perfunctory married life, made worse by the woman's effort to better it, is well conceived...
