AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Brother and sister Frank and Frances Struan are twins and when Frank learns he is dying of heart disease and the only way his sister will inherit the property is if she marries their cousin whom she hates, he persuades her (with the help of the local doctor/narrator) to impersonate him and pretend that it is her who dies. Their scheming cousin and his grasping Melbourne creditor discover the secret and it is only the discovery of a new will that frustrates their schemes - and Frances' death on her brother's grave.
