AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Humorous tale set in the Victorian coast and in Melbourne. Two sisters and a brother living temporarily in a shabby recently purchased holiday house reluctantly entertain an English visitor mistakenly sent by their father. All are glad when the evening is over, one of the sisters masquerading as a servant with a nervous disorder. A later meeting in Melbourne removes the mask of each and romance seems imminent. High spirited story. (PB)
