AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A pair of very down on their luck gentlemen in Melbourne recruit their fortunes with £300 found in the pocket of a second-hand coat - and the lucky bets at the Derby and Cup races. They then return the money to the rightful owner - a colonel from whom it had been stolen. Romantic sub-plot prospers too. Comments on changes in social position and acceptance encouraged by dress. Light irony. (PB)
