Wallace was an immensely popular writer in his time. These stories show all the attitudes of their time - colonial and condescending. However, the stories are well constructed and the light they throw on imperialist attitudes is very interesting.
Here we are shown Bones as a business man. He is prepared to finance anything—anything! His indiscretions serve him well, for although all the financial cut-throats in the City centre are on his trail, they achieve nothing but his further enrichment. There is a chuckle in every chapter, even in those devoted to his courting. Good business stories are so rare that the reader can't afford to miss this.
