Crash landing an aircraft is not a good career move.

Is it too late to convince Kathy his motivations are genuine? There's still the issue of compensation for the damaged plane. She's outraged at what she believes Alex is suggesting.

An unforgettable story of social life in New York and Newport against the background of the Great War. A young Canadian girl was loved by two American men, one a patriot and the other indifferent to the great call. "Basil King's novels deal with ethical problems and questions of conscience. They are concerned above all else with human conduct. The stories usually turn on some fine point of honor. 'The Lifted Veil' deals with disclosures after marriage and raises the question of the right of the married to conceal their past lives. 'The High Heart' sets forth the different ways in which Canadians and Americans viewed the earlier stages of the war." -The Reader's Adviser "A fair-minded and brilliant account of New York and Newport society life, by a Canadian girl whose father was a judge but whose loss of fortune and subsequent death left his daughter at the mercy of a rich American who takes a fancy to the girl and employs her as a nursery governess, warning her in advance to leave her employer's good-looking younger brother alone. The inevitable happens and they fall in love, the girl refusing to give up her lover at the command of his arrogant father and at the same time refusing to marry him until his family are either willing to accept her or until he has made a sufficient income to support her independently of them. Proud of her own social position and breeding, and of her famous ancestors the 'fighting Adares,' she cannot see why her lack of money should make her inferior to her lover whose boasted superiority is due entirely to his father's wealth. Fortified by her sense of right and justice and believing implicitly that right must conquer, she holds fast to her dignity and independence until the moment arrives when her fiancée's father apologizes for his attitude and admits her into the family as a future daughter-in-law. The action begins prior to the war and continues through the first three years until the United States joins the Allies to make the world safe for democracy. In giving the point of view of the Canadian girl, of the Americans and of an English girl who visits them, the author has given his story a depth of thought, a breadth of vision that will make it rank with the few big novels that have been produced by the war." -The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer "The story runs in this wise: A group of English officers, home on furlough, found themselves in the same train compartment with a young and beautiful woman. They were discussing various places as weekend possibilities. One naming a popular watering place, said: 'Don't go there. It's full of Canadians.'....Basil King, is in my opinion, among the foremost if not the foremost of our American novelists. he has all of Mrs. Wharton's keenness in character analysis, and her knowledge of certain American social conditions not reassuring to lovers of Democracy, without her ruthless pessimism concerning these conditions and the types of Americans which the produce." -Chamberlin's "In 'The High Heart,' the heroine decides to live according to the principle that right will always conquer." -The Dial "A splendid example of the single viewpoint story....Writers who read this novel - and I recommend it, as an entertaining character novel and as a model of technique - will notice that it is concrete evidence of Mr. King's feeling that in the opposing traits of characters should be found the genesis of the conflict and obstacle that provide the incidents and situations of the plot, and the suspense of the narrative." -The Editor: The Journal of Information for Literary Workers
