"Now there was my cousin Eliza," Miss Sally Ruth Dexter once said to me, "who was forced to make her home for thirty years in Vienna! She married an attaché of the Austrian legation, you know; met him while she was visiting in Washington, and she was such a pretty girl and he was such a charming man that they fell in love with each other and got married. Afterward his family procured him a very influential post at court, and of course poor Cousin Eliza had to stay there with him. Dear mama often said she considered it a most touching proof of woman's willingness to sacrifice herself—for there's no doubt it must have been very hard on poor Cousin Eliza. She was born and raised right here in Appleboro, you see."

20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. from redeemingqualities.[...] By Amazon Customer Slippy McGee is narrated by Father Armand Jean De Rancé, a Catholic priest. He lives and works in the town of Appleboro, South Carolina, where most of the ordinary townspeople are protestant, but a lot of the poor people who work at the mill and the factory are Catholic immigrants. One day a couple of them bring an injured man they've found to De Rancé. The man's leg has to be amputated, and while he's recovering, he stays at the Parish House. De Rancé soon realizes that the man is the famous safecracker, Slippy McGee, but he doesn't say anything about it to anyone, and the two of them decide that henceforth Slippy will be known as John Flint.The book is at its best when De Rancé is describing the slow reformation of the former safecracker. The Padre's hobby is butterflies, and Flint starts to help him mount them-because he's got the skillful hands of a safecracker-and gradually comes to know so much about them that he writes books and is made a member of several societies of entomologists. I love it when characters in books are experts on things, so that bit made me particularly happy. He also helps reform the town, endears himself to dogs, immigrants, and small children, and, in a heroic feat of safecracking, brings together the young lovers. All books should have heroic feats of safecracking.The young lovers are where about a third of the sappiness comes from. Another third is De Rancé's religion, and another is the heaps of praise bestowed on John Flint. Hey, I think he's pretty cool, too, but enough is enough.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Sweet but boring By Shelby Miller Father De Rancé is a Catholic priest who moves to the small town of Appleboro in the hopes of doing some good. He opens his home to those who need it, including, unwittingly, Slippy McGee, safecracker extraordinaire. Slippy met with a bad accident and had to have his leg amputated. Now, recovering, he takes on a new identity as John Flint, and quickly becomes a world renowned entymologist.The book started out well enough. Slippy McGee/John Flint was an interesting enough character to hold my attention for awhile, but after he's reformed and overcome his demons...nothing much happened. Towards the middle of the book, it wandered into how wonderful all characters were, great and small (except for the book's one villain, an evil industrialist). It was sweet, but boring and predicatable and ultimately forgettable. It's free, so pick it up if it sounds interesting to you, but a thriller it's not.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Reading! By STG1243 It was hard to put this book down. It takes you back in time when the poor people were so poor and uneducated and the rich were rich and educated.....then there's Slippy and the Priest... The book was worth reading!
