The Lilac Sunbonnet

Mr. Crockett's 'Lilac Sun-Bonnet' 'needs no bush'. Here is a pretty love tale, and the landscape and rural descriptions carry the exile back into the Kingdom of Galloway. Here, indeed, is the scent of bog-myrtle and peat. After inquiries among the fair, I learn that of all romances, they best love, not 'sociology', not 'theology', still less, open manslaughter, for a motive, but, just love's young dream, chapter after chapter. From Mr. Crockett they get what they want, 'hot with', as Thackeray admits that he liked it
