The winsome heroine of this little story climbs a tree. ... [there] is a platform where Marjorie likes to read. From that rustic station she can look across the hedge that otherwise conceals the house recently rented by a mysterious stranger. ... and through the curtains comes the voice of a man entreating Marjorie to climb the tree every day and speak to him. ... —from the review in The Nation, 1911 July 13.
