_A FEW PRESS OPINIONS._
JOY.
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH:--"Miss L. G. Moberly has a remarkable talent formaking a simple story thoroughly interesting and satisfying. It needsmuch skill and a good deal of charm in writing to achieve, this, andher latest novel is a fine example of her power."
THE WESTERN MAIL:--"A thoroughly interesting and pleasant story. 'Joy'contains really excellent work, and there is not a dull page in thebook or a pause in the story. The story throughout is absorbinglybright."
HOPE, MY WIFE.

ABERDEEN JOURNAL:--"Miss Moberly tells her tale so graphically, and yetso sincerely that the attention of the reader does not flag for aninstant."
A VERY DOUBTFUL EXPERIMENT.
IRISH INDEPENDENT:--"A charming, attractive tale, ably conceived andconvincingly presented. Miss Moberly's former works have wellestablished her ability to write fascinating fiction and createinterest in her actors, but we doubt if she has ever introduced acharacter whose career would be followed with more absorbing interestthan that of Rachel Boyd."
DIANA.

A TANGLED WEB.

FINANCIAL TIMES:--"This is an extremely well written and interestingstory, and ranks well with Miss Moberly's other popular works. Theplot is ingeniously carried through, and the interest thus aroused iswell sustained."
THAT PREPOSTEROUS WILL.
THE GLOBE:--"Molly is a bright, clever, affectionate damsel; and theauthor has succeeded in making her as fascinating to the reader as toher hero, Alan Dayrell."
THE NOTTINGHAM GUARDIAN:--"The story of Miranda's transformation fromgrub to butterfly is one of very great interest, the character of Mrs.Gray, the lady under whom she is trained for her new position insociety, being portrayed with a delicate but sure hand."
THE SIN OF ALISON DERING.
THE FINANCIAL TIMES:--"The plot of this story is cleverly conceived andwell carried out. Miss Moberly writes with great charm and skill, andthe reader is not likely to put down the book until the tangle isfinally cleared up. As a character-study, the figure of Alison Deringis drawn with considerable insight."
DAN--AND ANOTHER.
THE MORNING LEADER:--"A clever and carefully wrought book. Thecharacterization is natural and satisfying, and the various situationsare handled with strength and humour."
