AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Melbourne Christmas tale of a stoical Philosopher's fall from detachment when - with a doctor friend - he visits a sick mother and her new-born son. Abandoned by her family in Carlton, he invites them to live with his sister and himself in Fitzroy. Five years later he proposes. Nature and human affections win in this warmly ironic little tale.
