Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Game of Chance Lolling near the window of a room in the station homestead, Nethie Newlett gazed out across the Millungra paddocks, but she saw nothing of the peaceful scene that lay before her, for her mind was far away, in lands where peace was not. Having reached the impressionable and romantic age of nineteen, Nethie was wont to dream dreams of the suitor who would one day win her heart and hand. So far she had not encountered in the flesh the man to whom she would gladly answer "Yes," but in her dreams - Ah! If dreams only came true there would be less sighing in this queer old world. Nethie being a pretty girl, of course had admirers; she could not remember when she had not one or more of the sterner sex seeking her smiles. Long before she ever dreamt of living on a sheep station, when she was a city kid, attending a suburban public school, the boys vied with each other in their efforts to please her. Up here at Millungra it was much the same. The bush lads had not been behind in their attentions. And there had been a few whom she really liked, but the war had called them, and they were far away. Of those who were left, not one appealed to her as the ideal lover. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
