Hunted Down, Marcus Clarke , single work short story humour
An author is confronted by a man demanding to be given a better job and accusing him of being unfair. The author is at first confused, then astounded when he recognises features of the man as belonging to one of his frequently used, though negatively stereotypical, characters. The author quickly understands what the man is objecting to when he becomes dangerously embroiled in one of his own plots and must write himself out of danger.
 (p. 223-228)
Note: Republication of the 1890 selection edited by Hamilton Mackinnon (NLA).
A Sad Christmas Eve Retrospect, Marcus Clarke , single work short story (p. 229-233)
