AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Two Melbourne men - an accountant and a state school assistant - on holiday in the hot Victorian town of Aramouse (Ararat) visit the local mental asylum and hear the sad tale of an inmate's lost wife. He was a happily married store supervisor in Taralong until he offended the new bank manager, who eventually embezzled bank funds and absconded with the farmer's wife - apparently using some form of mesmerism. Interesting portrayal of social life in a small town - and a lunatic asylum. (PB).
