Miss Tynan is an inveterate match-maker; there are no less than nine love-affairs, all ending in happy marriages, in this her latest and may be a somewhat unsatisfactory story. The plot is full of unlikely coincidences, and lovers and sweethearts are provided in the most perfunctory manner for the various characters; one inconvenient cousin being paired off with the queen of a Pacific island - so that his fiancée Anne "the daughter of kings" may marry her middle-class millionaire employer. There are some pleasant sketches of Irish life, but Miss Tynan is less happy in her treatment of "high life" and there is far too much insistence on class distinctions, though the moral of the book is evidently intended to prove that "a man's a man for a that ". -Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, Vol. 99
