1 The Last of the Ten Bohemian , 1896 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , December vol. 32 no. 379 1896; (p. 87-88) Father-son tale of crime and reform. An Italian peasant lad loves the last surviving of his ten peacocks dearly, and when a brigand appears and kills it he is heartbroken. He does not change his hatred of the man even when he discovers him sitting at the home table - his father, who has returned after six years in hiding - and accuses him of being a thief and a wicked man. The village priest appears and bids the brigand reform and go to America to earn a new living for his family, or be turned over to the police. The boy only hugs his father and forgives him once he promises to reform. (PB)
