AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Their first Christmas in Dunedin, New Zealand looks very unhappy for a couple and their baby, born after arriving from England. Unemployment and injury have reduced them to penury when baby is employed for use in a theatrical production and her salary pays for their dinner and changes their luck. Slight; air of reminiscence.
