"It is a good thing for English readers that some one is undertaking the task of translating EDMOND ABOUT's shorter stories. This story reminds one of some of JULES VERNE'S books; but it is really much cleverer than any of his. * * Delightful for the lightness of its touch and the keenness of its sarcasm."-Scotsman.
