1 The Innocent for the Guilty Hart Ayrault , 1881 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , March vol. 16 no. 190 1881; (p. 373-375) Bizarre tale of a French soldier who stops at a country inn, is attracted to the keeper's step-daughter, Suzanne, and cuts off the finger of a thief attempting to rob him during the night. On his arrival home he finds his impoverished father is also missing a finger and a trial for attempted murder follows. His testimony, the sacrifice of his own finger and Suzanne's testimony free his father. He parts from Suzanne to die in Africa and she to be faithful until her death. Strange; patchy. (PB)
