2 METHUEN'S POPULAR NOVELS 



DARNELEY PLAGE 



By RICHARD BAGOT, Author of ' Donna Diana.' 



Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



The scene of Mr. Richard Bagot's new novel is laid partly in 

 England and partly in Italy. The story turns upon the double life 

 led by a wealthy English landowner in consequence of the abduction 

 in his more youthful days of the daughter of an old Italian house at 

 a period when he had no prospect of succeeding to the position he 

 subsequently attained. Incidentally, the novel deals with certain 

 phases of Italian Spiritualism, and Mr. Bagot's readers will again 

 resume their acquaintance with some of the most sympathetic 

 characters described in his previous work, The Passport. 



LAMORNA 



By Mrs. A. SIDGWICK, Author of 'The Severins.' 



Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



The story of two girls united by kinship and affection, but divided 

 by character and temperament. Lamorna, the elder one, has to look 

 on while her cousin makes a tragedy of her life and successively 

 becomes the victim of a roue and a mischief- monger. Lamorna's own 

 fate is at one time so enmeshed with her cousin's that she requires all 

 her sense and strength to escape from the toils set by a man who 

 would override all scruple and all honour to win her. 



THE QUEST OF THE GOLDEN ROSE 



By JOHN OXENHAM, Author of 'The Long Road.'

 typical Englishmen surgeon artist barrister encounter it in odd 

 fashion while tramping the High Alps, and follow it up each in his 

 own peculiar way to his destined end. Their various testings, mental, 

 moral, and physical, make the story, which is replete with the joy, 

 the sorrow, and the tragedy of life. 



THE HOLIDAY ROUND 



By A. A. MILNE, Author of 'The Day's Play.' 



Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



Among our younger humorists none has so quickly found his way 

 to the hearts of readers as 'A. A. M.' of Punch, whose special gift 

 and privilege it is to touch Wednesdays with irresponsibility and fun. 

 He has now brought together a further collection of his contributions 

 to Punch, similar in character to The Day's Play published two years 

 ago. The history of the Rabbits is continued, and is supplemented 

 by 'Little Plays for Amateurs,' 'Stories of Successful Lives,' and 

 many other of his recent dialogues and sketches.
