A Daughter of the Marionis: To Win the Love He Sought

ByEdward Phillips Oppenheim

A Daughter of the Marionis: by E. Phillips Oppenheim. The story of a vendetta, makes a capital plot for the novelist who takes characters from Southern life for his story, and in Margharita, "a daughter of the Marionis," we have a not impossible character. She does not appear till late in the story, but takes up the vendetta of her uncle with a will; how that vendetta. succeeds it is not for us to revealed. Marionis himself is a fine figure, and the scene when, having been let out of prison an old man, he seeks to resume his scheme of vengeance, and visits the degenerate committee of the "White Hyacinth Society "is full of stern pathos. The struggle Margharita has between love and hatred is also well described, and the interest in the story is never allowed to flag, and it continues absorbing to the end.
