(_returns to him_) You know, dear, I am yours always. Oh, don't hate me! I dare to say it in this presence. (_She kisses his hand. He shrinks from her._) Now I can go. (_She goes to the door and looks back as Denham kneels and clasps the body in his arms._) Will he hate me now? (_Exit Mrs. Tremaine._)
Denham.
Constance! I meant to have kept you from all the thorns of life! It was fate! It was fate!

=IN THE GREEN PARK=.
By F. NORREYS CONNELL.
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY F.H. TOWNSEND.
"Excellent fooling. Teems with classical chaff and latter-day badinage. The chief attraction is the uninterrupted flow of exuberant animal spirits which permeates its pages. Mr. Townsend's illustrations to this quaint work are decidedly funny."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Full of clever and whimsical conceits. Will best be appreciated by Londoners, and welcome to the general reader."--_Morning Post._
"Not at all a bad specimen of the New Humour."--_Truth._
"The newest New Humour."--_National Observer._
"Very clever. Mr. Connell's next volume is sure to be good."--_Black and White._
"A fantastic and amusing work. Mr. Connell is a humorist, and a humorist of a distinctly original type. We have laughed heartily over this book. The whole is so piquantly flavoured and seasoned.
Stories of the after-dinner type, audacious occasionally, but never coarse, and always redeemed by a pretty and nimble art. The author is a good fellow with his quips, and jests, and cranks; and nobody will regret making his acquaintance."--_Weekly Sun._
=THE BACHELORS' CLUB=.
By I. ZANGWILL.
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY GEORGE HUTCHINSON.
ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE: "Some exceedingly clever fooling, and a happy audacity of whimsical invention."
DAILY GRAPHIC: "A genuine humorist. We own to having laughed heartily, and appreciated the cleverness and the cynicism."
STAR: "Mr. Zangwill has an original way of being funny. He is full of clever and witty, paradoxical and epigrammatical, surprises. His book is a splendid tonic for gloomy spirits."
EVENING NEWS: "Not one in a score of the amusing books which come from the press is nearly so amusing as this."
SUNDAY TIMES: "Read, laugh over, and profit by the history of 'The Bachelors' Club,' capitally told by a fresh young writer."
GLOBE: "A clever and interesting book. Agreeable satire.
Store of epigram."
REFEREE: "A new comic writer. There is a touch of the devilry of Heine in Mr. Zangwill's wit."
SCOTSMAN: "Any one who has listened to what the wild waves say as they beat the shores of Bohemia will read the book with enjoyment and appreciate its careless merriment."
FREEMAN'S JOURNAL: "Very clever and amusing; highly interesting, humorous and instructive."
PICTORIAL WORLD: "One of the smartest books of the season.
Brimful of funny ideas, comically expressed."
MAN OF THE WORLD: "Witty to excess. To gentlemen who dine out, the book will furnish a stock of 'good things' upon every conceivable subject of conversation."
GRANTA: "A book of genuine humour. Full of amusing things.
The style is fresh and original."
