AbstractHistoryArchive Description
English romance with Australian connections. An Englishman returns home after making a fortune as a squatter in Australia, and doubling it by marrying an elderly colonial widow who drowns when their ship goes down on the way home. He marries again within a year but makes his young and pretty wife unhappy with continual reference to his former wife - until his brother-in-law arranges for him to receive a telegram from that supposedly deceased party ... Light; humorous references to the returned squatter's unpoetic nature. (PB)
