Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sister Sorrow: A Story of Australian Life
Assembly and their wives; various brown-faced men from up north and sallow women; bachelor-bushmen and town residents, who made their homes at the hotel. I thought it all looked very gay and pretty and interesting. The Bellevue stands in that open part of the North Side near to Parliamentary Buildings and close to Govern ment House and the Botanical Gardens - the North Side being the middle-land loop which the river makes as it winds three times in queer snake-like curves. I could see the broad grey-blue stretch of water through the bay window, in the recess of which our oval table was placed - when at last I got near it. Emu Point lies across that bend of the river, and I stood a minute or two trying to make out the roof of The Bunyas in a clip of the ridge.
