Given Elswyth Thane's involvement with theater, it may not be utterly unfair to suspect that this novel started life as a one-set farce and was hastily novelized. The plot makes up for its originality in featuring characters no longer dewy with youth by putting them through the paces of endless misunderstandings that could have been quickly revolved had the hero or heroine any gumption. While this novella is not the worst of Thane's literary output, it will disappoint anyone who hopes for her best.
