Book excerpt: The Forger's Wife is an adventurous love story by John Lang. Lang was an Australian lawyer and was Australia's first native born novelist. Excerpt: "Over his pipe and his glass, in the back parlour of a tavern, Captain Harcourt would sit gloomily. He appeared to have something on his mind, and to feel relieved by these stolen visits to the various public-houses. The aroma consequent on smoking and drinking he dispelled by chewing lemon-peel previous to rejoining his wife; and from this the reader will conclude that the Captain was not altogether destitute of consideration for Emily's feelings."
