Comments

¶ The second book by Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907), a novel about the mystery behind a stolen necklace and the life of a struggling writer in New York. There are numerous references to other writers of the Knickerbocker era, and an amusing scene in which the aspiring writer is in the office of a prominent New York publisher and pleads the case for the publication of his manuscript, to no avail.
