AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Domestic romance. An old maid in Melbourne watches the progress of a young married couple whose love seems to founder upon alcohol for a time - but a quarrel and the fear of his death in a railway accident reunite them and he starts afresh ... Predictable plot; competent only. The old maid actually intervenes to comfort the wife in her husband's absence. (PB)
