The Scarf and the Flower
A Drama
“The ‘Scarf and the Flower’, nice and courtly though it be, the subject spun out and entangled with infinite skill, is too thin by itself for an interest of three acts long; and no translation, perhaps, could preserve the grace of manner and glittering flow of dialogue which conceal this defect in the original”.
J. R. Chorley in “The Athenæum”.
