1 A Kiss and What It Cost Jennie M. H. H. , 1883 single work short story romance
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , October vol. 19 no. 221 1883; (p. 86-90)
English family romance. Jennie Stanmore's practical joke played on her rich Aunt Jane loses her the lady's favour and an inheritance of £30 000, especially when her aunt discovers she is engaged to a young officer who displeases her. Jennie at last speaks out against her aunt's unfairness - and is left only a military portrait when her aunt dies. But the accidental breakage of the portrait reveals £25 000. Light pleasant romance with side references to Christian sects and the South African war. Warm sense of a lively family. (PB)
