When Miss Neuchamp found herself installed in a large, cool upper chamber at Morahmee with a glorious view of the harbour, while on her table stood a great rapturous bouquet all freshly gathered, roses intermingled with delicate greenhouse buds, she commenced to wonder whether all her previously formed ideas of Australia were about to be seriously modified.
A good sound reserve of prejudice reassured her, and she bided her time.

Now she was about to experience whatever best and pleasantest the metropolis could afford.
