A strong, beautiful and respectable woman, Barbara Walsh, marries a scapegrace Englishman sent to the island's civil service to avert his marriage to a farmer's daughter, Lucy Cleeve, seduced in England. When Lucy appears in Tasmania the liaison resumes until the wife murders Lucy and castrates her husband. [A footnote coyly refers to a similar incident in England.] (PB)
