'Because the Selways have been the chief characters in the story since it began in 1873, Miss Foster felt obliged, on parting from them in 1958, to tell us something about all the surviving members, as well as to remind us of figures in the family's past. All this seemed to be a routine matter. Her preoccupation with the Selways generally made it impossible here to give the necessary space to what promised to be the main incident, the overcoming of prejudice entertained by some "old" Australians against the "new".'
