1 Hester Fulton's Trials Nellie Gordon , 1881 single work short story romance
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , July vol. 16 no. 194 1881; (p. 594-598) A lonely child, Hester Fulton, is raised at Sandhurst and later on a station near Wentworth on the Murray River. She is better educated than her nearly illiterate family and is rescued from a forced marriage and nearly a rape by Walter Kent. They fall in love but on the eve of the wedding her former suitor's jealousy forges a letter which separates the betrothed for many months before they are reunited in Melbourne. Reasonably written, pace a little uneven and plot romantically improbable in parts. (PB)
