William H. Wilde et. al. (1994): 638 says it deals 'with urban middle-class families attempting to overcome the stigma of convict antecedents; in Social Life in Sydney the brother and sister Margaret and Gerald Bright make their way in Sydney society through many reversals of fortune. Margaret marries Edmund Milner and leads a life of comfortable seclusion which is disrupted by the return of her convict father. Gerald prospers in business but is led into questionable speculation by Phryn, Milner's discredited clerk. The saintly Margaret dies in a bushfire while fulfilling her duty to her father, but Gerald repairs the family's fortune and wins happiness and respect.'
