A fragment from a Sydney harbor social tale shows Kay Uridge and Cyril in a social circle where Ashtray family figures participate in local golf and harbour activities. The piece hints at family tensions and evolving identities as remarks about uncouth behavior surface amid bright young circles and cross currents between country life and city living.
William Combine arrives at the Ashtrays home in Sydney with a suitcase and sugar bag, colliding with Jim Ashtray’s social circle. Mrs. Ashtray recoils as Annette disappears, and Combine is soon the center of admiration among guests at the Margrave residence, recalling a harsher life on Sunset Plain.
The tale blends gossip about a woman's transformation at new beauty shops with memories of a grass fire and a dramatic rescue. A sting of comic mischief follows when a sugar bag is opened revealing a possum that leaps onto Mr Ashtray and causes a startled scream from Mrs Margrave.
In a crowded garden party, guests chased a possum among plants and tables while Annette and her escort whispered. Bill Combine led the search as excitement rose and a sudden blood-curdling snarl broke the scene from the trees.
