AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A nouveau riche butcher's wife gives a party at her new home on Mt Grand View - which sees a lovers' quarrel between pretty Lilian Grace of Prahan and assistant state school teacher Clarence Geoffrey. Letters are misdirected and the quarrel continues until Clarence follows Lilian's family to Lakes Entrance for the Christmas holidays, stumbles across Lilian in a very brief swimming costume which he enjoys until he realises it is her and he has been spying. The return of his letter quickly prompts another and marriage ensues. (PB)
