"So the great estate is likely to be lost to Kate and her debt-ridden
father, Lord Claverley. How it is conserved at last, and gloomy
apprehension chased away by dazzling visions of material splendor--that
is the author's well-kept secret, not to be shared here with a careless
and indolent public."--_Philadelphia North American._
"The long-standing reproach that women are seldom humorists seems in a
fair way of passing out of existence. Several contemporary feminine
writers have at least sufficient sense of humor to produce characters as
deliciously humorous as delightful. Of such order is the Countess
Claverley, made whimsically real and lovable in the recent book by Ellen
Thorneycroft Fowler and A.L. Felkin, 'Kate of Kate Hall.'"--_Chicago
Record-Herald._
"'Kate of Kate Hall' is a novel in which Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler
displays her brilliant abilities at their best. The story is well
constructed, the plot develops beautifully, the incidents are varied and
brisk, and the dialogue is deliciously clever."--_Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle._
