AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Theatrical tale set on the Victorian gold-diggings in the 1850s; reminiscence by the narrator, a travelling theatre manager. Recalls one of his actors confronted by a famous actress who recognised him as the man who assailed and robbed her husband - who was then dying from his wounds. The manager later married the widow. Light slightly ramshackle tale. The 'bushranging' actor was an ex-convict with a love of excitement. (PB)
