Curtones FREAKS An Australian Tale Chapter L
A fragmented 1810 scene in Chelsea shows a dying landowner bequeathing land to Gerald Mattey and Evelyne. Their voyage toward New South Wales begins amid family tragedy and cholera. Ben Mattey, later a carpenter, endures Bermondsey poverty under a stern landlord while a neighbor, Peter Porson, guides his early life and schooling. The tale then shifts to Ben’s reflections and Osborne’s praise of distant Australia.
