My story is set in the 1860's. It is based on Frederick McCubbin's painting, The Homecoming.
It is the story of a young girl who marries an older man who goes away
to the goldfields for two years and never writes. In the meantime she
meets someone much younger and they have a child. The girl is frightened
of how her husband will react when he returns. It turns out that he is a
bigamist and her new sweetheart deals out a punishment which sets him
packing. The sweetheart warns the man that he will see him in Court.
