Sydney romance and social satire. The gracious and beautiful daughter of a wealthy former teamster and bush hotel servant tours Europe, turns down coronets, and falls in love with a poor but handsome and noble sailor from Sydney. They marry much to the disgust of her puffed-up father, Sydney society, and a vulgar old millionaire who wanted her himself. Light. (PB)
