Miss E. M. DELAFIELD : ' Rhoda Broughton '
Among the books that really are read with avidity the novels of Rhoda Broughton stand high. Miss Broughton died at the age of eighty, in 1920, with over twenty novels to her name. Perhaps, ' Cometh Up as a Flower,' the story of an innocent, impulsive girl who loves a handsome soldier, but has to marry a rich husband to bolster up the family fortunes,' was her most famous book, but the clear character-drawing, lively fancy and quiet humour of all her work give it a permanent if humble place in popular literature.
