In The House of Fulfilment Emmy Lou has drawn the portraits of five women, each a type in herself; Molly, the pleasure loving daughter of the South, not the South, Harriet Blair, whose cold austerity hid an inner shyness and self-consciencesness; Charlotte Leroy of the South and a pleasure loving too-egoist; Emlly, beautiful and ambitios who married for money and Alexina, a temperate mixture of North and South, daughter of the reckless Molly and Alexander Blair. "To take a little child, to develop her character logically in accordance with her environment and a clashing inheritance of a father and mother as dissimilar as north and south, heat and cold, and lead her to a beautiful, true womanhood, without outraging the verisimilitudes, is a problem that only real genius can solve. Mrs Martin has successfully done this."-- Louisville Courier Journal George Madden Martin, was the pen name of early 20th century authoress, Mrs. Attwood R. Martin.
