The novel is filled with witty dialogue, memorable characters, and insightful observations about human nature. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today.These little scoundrel imps, who have attained to some respectability as the dogs and pets of the Comic Spirit, had been curiously attentive three years earlier, long before the public announcement of his engagement to the beautiful Miss Durham, on the day of Sir Willoughby's majority, when Mrs. Mountstuart Jenkinson said her word of him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
