1 An Old Tale F. A. Groom , 1890 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , October vol. 26 no. 305 1890; (p. 74-76) English tale of romance, jealousy and tragedy. Netta, a young girl who shares a mutual dislike with her step-mother at last escapes to a London season with her rich aunt. There she falls in love and becomes engaged but her suitor proves to have courted her step-mother in his youth. The former lovers stroll together one morning towards a cliff weakened by a storm - and when Netta witnesses them embracing she does not warn them of their danger. Guilt wracks her for the rest of her days. Slight but compelling in parts. (PB)
