AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An encounter in a railway carriage in England in the winter of 1887. An Australian returning from Birmingham to London becomes suspicious of his burly travelling companion - and determines to defend himself. A mock-heroic description of the journey resolves with a good humoured conversation between the pair. Humorous self-deprecation. [Includes reference to classical heroes and to marvellous Melbourne.] (PB)
