"CHARLOTTE.”
Tbits is the tale of a fashionable beauty and a very charming, witty young woman to boot; indeed her wit and charm are even more accentuated than her beauty. But her virtues are very much less conspicuous than her charms, and, therefore, as her story progresses it becomes somewhat painful reading. Yet Charlotte had elements of good in her which might have developed into the makings of a noble woman had she had a different mother. But her mother was an unprincipled worldling and her daughter’s evil genius. The novel is written in Mrs Walford’s bright, pleasant, chatty style, and gives the best examples of her cleverness in characterisation and dialogue that I have yet come across. Her great popularity is likely to be increased by "Charlotte.”
