Author note, 1978: "This Edwardian place was, until quite recently, still functioning in Ballarat. The incident written about in the poem, the venomous farewell for all time, actually took place years before the poem was written, and in another tea-room in Melbourne."(Cover of The Wild Girl in the Heart)
