From The Westminster Review (1875): “Mr. Francillon cannot be dull . . . We cannot say that we care much for the Major with his Irish brogue and his Bohemian manners, but the adventures of Olympia in her disguise are decidedly amusing. Firefly, too, is a most original actress, and her philosophy of love is worth studying.” This is a novel that includes actresses, theatres, and a love triangle.
