You'll think that a shameful confession, Mr. Rolfe. 'My own ideas of Australian geography are vague enough.
Alma and Anna had lived alone at the old Williams homestead ever since their mother's death four years before. Exeter matrons thought this hardly proper, since Alma, in spite of her grave ways, was only twenty-four.
