AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A gentleman's advertisement in the matrimonial pages of a Melbourne newspaper initiate a correspondence with a closely kept girl not yet in society. Their friendship grows and they determine to meet during her visit to a friend in the city. Their plans are nearly frustrated when the girl's guardian intercepts their letter but the girl finds them and turns up wearing pansies at the railway station - joining the pansy buttonholes of her guardian and her correspondent. Slight, pleasant. (PB)
