Here Winifred James writes affectionately of the amenities of London homes and ways, casual callers and shopping. She garners facets of things and incidents that charm the heart of the devotee, but are usually missed by the mere sight-see. She ends on a note of patriotism.'

It is a pleasant story of two young Australian girls, who find themselves left to shift for themselves. One goes into a tea room and the other takes up kindergarten teaching, and though there is nothing very dramatic about either of those employments the narrative strongly interests us in the two heroines - for such they must surely be called.'
