1 Mrs Spencer Rose Matthews , 1893 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , September vol. 29 no. 340 1893; (p. 28-29) US boarding-house keeper's tale of a fallen woman, a former lodger and her little daughter who died in the house. The woman had left her husband and family years before for a local politician who had deserted her, and married another. He learned of her return after her death and claimed his daughter as she died in his arms. Well structured tale, a little sentimental but also moving. (PB)
