AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Domestic tragedy of newly arrived immigrants to Australia. Mary Leicester is left alone by the death of her husband three weeks after their arrival in Melbourne. The tale depicts her grief and solitariness; the kindness of the landlady's widowed sister; the comfort of her cat and the visitation of her husband's spirit after his funeral and before his rich squatter uncle comes to claim her. Slight with sketches of common human nature and a touch of comfort of the spirit - which the cat is aware of. (PB)
