It lacks the most characterisâ€" tic mark of a first novel, perhaps, in that it is completely objective. . It has none of that passionate outpouring of all that an impressionable youth has lived or seen or thought about life to date, that clearing of the boards which many young writers find necesâ€" sary before they can begin to look at life critically and objectively. Of course that may have been done in serapâ€"basket, or Miss Quin may have gained objectivity through the writâ€" ing of the three plays which she has already had produced in London.

There is Tony who starts out with every bias toward popularity but who becomes â€"opinionated, moody _ and morose. â€" In other words Mr. Stevenâ€" son has been interested in letting these boys work out their destiny under our : eyes, a ~process which makes a good and lively story.
