AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Refugees from the Franco-Prussian war settle in Warrnambool, an elderly man and two adolescents, his son and a friend's daughter. The attentions of a handsome squatter and the couple's separation after the old man's death estrange them - a separation apparently cemented by the youth's return just as the girl was enacting a marriage tableau vivant to the squatter as a Christmas entertainment. Years later, after a terrible storm and his apparent death at sea, they are reunited. Roman Catholic faith emphasised. (PB)
