Romance of country Victoria. A city visitor to the house Clara Rankine and her Scottish mother is suspected of being mad - so Clara's loathed fiancee and another man are asked to stay for protection. Occasional irony eg. Clara's greater refinement than her crude Scottish relations due to her years at a Melbourne boarding school, her lover's repulsiveness etc. Also broader humour as when all but Clara are convinced the visitor is mad and attempt to remove her from the room ... One engagement is broken that evening ... Entertainingly well written; light. (PB)
