AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Haughty Mrs V. D. resolves to turn heir Melbourne home into a lodging-house to boost the resources of herself and her husband, unable to live on his quarterly allowance from England. This causes a rupture, Mr V. D. being proud of his name - but the arrival of lodgers brings a gambler and a bank absconder to the house - and eventually suicide. Comic touches. (PB)
