Tragedy in the Bunyip Hotel on the Melbourne-Sale track in 1869 and the middle 70s. The kind-hearted owners of the hotel shelter their servant when she is pregnant, deserted by her lover. She dies, leaving a letter with the local priest, and the couple raise her child. Warm tale of simple people and human charity. Purportedly true; includes visit to 'Little Jim' in mid-70s. (PB)
