Part 16

‘We congratulate Mr. Wedmore on his vivid, wholesome, and artistic work, so full of suppressed feeling and of quiet strength.’--=Standard.=

=English Episodes.= Second Edition.

‘Distinction is the characteristic of Mr. Wedmore’s manner. These things remain upon the mind, as seen--not read of.’--=Daily News.=

‘A penetrating insight, a fine pathos. Mr. Wedmore is a peculiarly fine and carefully deliberate artist.’--=Westminster Gazette.=

=Orgéas and Miradou.= With Other Pieces.

The beautiful story of “Orgéas and Miradou” is typical of Mr. Wedmore’s power of expressing and translating the poignancy of human emotion. It is charged with depth of feeling, and vivid in its extreme reticence and discrimination of touch. In it, there is nothing short of divination.’--=Athenæum.=

‘“Orgéas and Miradou” deals with the most poignant situation that can be imagined. It is the most perfect piece of work Mr. Wedmore has given us.’--=St. James’s Gazette.=

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
