 Those who expect thrills will be disappointed.The romance of Rigby is a poor sort of affairs as romances go - not nearly so attractive as several other romances related in the book; yet on it "Tom Collins" - this was Furphy's pen-name - has hung a most entertaining and often thought provoking account of an evening's yarning by a collection of typical Australian out-back characters.There is an abundance of Australianism in this dialogue, and some subtle radical philosophy too."
