1 An Old Superstition : A Story in Two Chapters Cythna , 1891 single work short story romance
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , July vol. 26 no. 314 1891; (p. 587-589) Tragic romance set in rural England between beautiful Eleanor Dalgleish and Lawrence Hilliand, son of an English doctor and a Spanish-Mexican mother. A betrothal ring from an heirloom cross of gold and opals is pronounced bad luck by friends - and when Lawrence disappears on the wedding day it seems true. Eleanor finally discovers Lawrence's body in a disused well - and dies herself within the year. Odd mixture of the exotic, the continental and the gothic; competently written. (PB)
