1 Mab's Keepsake A. B. F. , 1888 single work short story adventure
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , May vol. 23 no. 276 1888; (p. 487-488)
Romance of two English sisters in Tuscany. Disobeying their uncle, the two young women decide to attend a fair some hours away. A chance encounter in a train introduces them to an Englishman who gives Mab, the younger sister, a very loud little whistle. It proves handy when they are attacked by a robber in the railway waiting room overnight - and romance follows. Narrated by the elder sister. Pleasant; well-paced; slight. (PB)
1 Our Blue Stocking Friend A. B. F. , 1873 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , November vol. 9 no. 102 1873; (p. 145-146)
Description of an aspiring writer's efforts to prevent her literary endeavours from leading to eccentricity in behaviour or dress, or from intefering with her attention to the everyday duties which her marriage to Charlie Bright would entail. A little over-placating but lightly amusing too. (PB)
