In narrow tunnels, hundreds of feet below ground, Casteret would battle his way against Ice-cold torrents.

NOVELS
reviewed by Stuart Fletcher
ARGUERITE STEEN'S 1100 novel is about publishers, authors, reviewers and inter- fering relations.
རྣ
Her publishers indulge in undigni fled recriminations in the office and even come to blows They also get in. volved in scandal and blackmail and the machinations of Dreadful Women. One of her publishers has a rich father-in-law who is a Pillar of Society. He backs the firm so long as its fats are kept depressingly respectable and dull.
Miss Bleen (Family Ties, Collina, 83. dd.) keeps the ball rolling, and there is no earthly reason why one should not read her book in the shelter on the Ben-front while the rain pours down.
But there is also no earthly reason why one should keep on reading for ingle moment after the sun has como out and made more Hvely pleasures possible.
