Joe Mannering was worried about his young daughter Eve. If he sold Mangungu, what would become of her? He could not carry on forever, and ought to sell the farm, but it was Eve’s whole life. At twenty she was still a complete tomboy, uncaring about her appearance, with no desire to dress up, go to dances or meet 'fellers’. Her idea of heaven was to roam about the farm with her dog and just lead a free-and-easy life. Rut the situation became more piquant when Lance Calandra arrived on the scene and took an interest in Mangungu and in Eve - at least to the extent of telling her she ought to grow up and develop some self-confidence. But that wasn't easy, was it, when Lance made it so obvious that his real Interest was in Eve's glamorous older sister Laurel!
