AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A Melbourne society woman, her family's fortunes ruined in a bank crash, becomes a teacher at a small unclassified country school. She is much admired by the local young men but feels superior though attracted to one of them. The breaking of a new dam, the swift departure of a bejewelled city suitor and the courage of a country admirer in saving first her and then the city suitor wins her love. Romance is declared on the mullock heap to which she is carried by her hero - and gold is also discovered. Well written, humorous - light irony; well-studied references interwoven. (PB)
