Secret Surixes. By Helen Donovan, Hodder and Stoughton, Ld-"Only through worship can the secret of the shrine be apprehend-"d" is the quotation which gives the title to this picturesque romance, but as the adroit teacher says to unduly inquisitive pupils: "It will do you more good if you discover the reason for it yourself." Titles apart, this is a rapidly moving story of Jacobean times and the author has~ dealt generously with the reader in the matter of plot and counter-plot. Beginning with the amazing marriage of Sir Harry Raymond and Jennifer Sheldrake, the interest of the narrative never flags and the introduction of the idolized (Qharles Edward Stuart, "the King's enemy," is skilfully managed to show the influence he exerted over all classes of men and women.
