1 His Luck : A Cup-Time Tale Bennett Black , 1895 single work short story romance
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , December vol. 31 no. 367 1895; (p. 166-167) Melbourne romance set on the beach at Sandringham; a villa in St Kilda and at the Melbourne Cup at Flemington. Rumours of a gambling escapade seem to have destroyed Arthur Milford's chances of marrying Lilian Carr. At least until Arthur sees her disapproving father collecting his winnings at the Cup and a private arrangement is reached. Arthur also wins £5000 in a sweepstake. Light humour. Entertaining. (PB)
