Randal Bellamy's country house was a place of pleasant breakfasts. From the dining room the outlook was delightful; grass, flowers and sunshine, with the host's easy charm, made it almost as easy for Theophilus Caldegard to drink his tea fresh, as for his daughter Amaryllis not to keep her host, Sir Randal, waiting for his coffee. This morning, while she waited for the two men, the girl, remembering that this was the eighteenth of June, was surprised by the ease with which the five weeks of her stay had slipped by; and she wondered, without anxiety, at what point the guest merges into the inmate. "I can't live here for ever," she thought; "but as long as there's room for his test-tubes, and his dinner's good, dad thinks it's all right for a girl." And, as if it was all right, she laughed—just in time for Randal Bellamy to get full benefit of the pleasant sound. "Laughing all alone?" he said. "That's when the funny things happen," replied Amaryllis. Bellamy looked down at her, as if asking a share in her merriment.

I rather liked the book even though it was old-fashioned, even for 1920 when it was published. On the one hand, it was quite up-to-date. in that the problem was drugs, much as it would be today. On the other hand, the heroine, an appealing young woman, tends to faint at the first sign of distress. She is succored by a handsome young man whose manly stature wins her heart almost at first glance, he being equally staggered by her well-protected beauty. Well protected, in that her customary dress includes multiple layers of voluminous garments which we know will never be fully removed until after the marriage is signed, sealed and given sacred approval. While she tends to cling at any sign of difficulty, she is nurturant when required to be, able to give succor to her brave warrior through lending a lap for his weary head when, exhausted, he must sleep or when injured, he must have his heroic brow stroked. There are chases through the country-side (a la The 39 Steps), brutal hand-to- hand struggle, and the possibility of damage to her untarnished virginity....but all turns out as you would expect.I imagine the book would be a bit offensive to some who are sensitive to the role-models for males and females presented in literature; others may enjoy the change in pace from the flood of karate trained independent women and their hapless male consorts, the staple of most of the thriller and mystery books published today
