'THE first impression John Knight had of Adelaide, after one month at sea, was anything but happy. He was glad his ship was only staying in the port one day. That was before he knew Mary. His first meeting with Mary took place when he accidentally knocked her down in the street. An eye witness of this accident was her father, who thought John should be horsewhipped for his action. Later at a ball in the Town Hall John tries to apologise to Mary’s father, but to no avail. In fact, he is turned out of the place to be "beaten up," or so Mr. Merryweather thought. He had, of course, underestimated this "young hooligan," as he dubbed him. However, both John’s and Mary’s father’s unfortunate impressions are pleasantly ironed out to provide a happy conclusion.'
