AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The heroine is an injured heiress who has been swindled out of her inheritance by a scapegrace cousin and a still more unprincipled lawyer, who, between them, have palmed off a post-dated will. Her cause is championed by an adventurous medico who had in early life resigned gold prospects in the old country for the romance of gold-seeking in the new. By the help of an old family retainer, casually met within the vicissitudes of colonial life, evidence is secured for repelling the fraudulent claim and a costly law-suit in England restores the heiress and her champion, who meanwhile had become her husband, to the long-lost fortune. The style and diction of the tale are in keeping with the roughest of early goldfield life.'
