AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This tale of an embroidered vest reveals a tragic romance set in Scotland where two cousins are separated by a father's determination that his daughter should marry a richer man. Clement Nairne comes to Australia as Stanley Eyre and joins the Victorian Mounted Police but when he hears of Lilian Ayrlie's death of a broken heart he gives up and turns to dissipation, eventually returning to Scotland to die. In Australia he had become friends with the narrator's mother. Well written with a slight touch of the psychic. Very harmonious. (PB)
