After Sundown

the long version

For years Tina and her sister Moira had been spoiled and indulged by their stepfather Austin. Everything they wanted, he gave them; there was never any question of either of them earning their own living. So when the girls decided they would like a holiday in Menorca they took it for granted that Austin would finance them as usual. But suddenly things took an unexpected and dramatic turn, when Austin's son Charles appeared on the scene. Charles had never approved of his frivolous stepsisters and their idle ways. He decided things had gone quite far enough, and he announced his own plans for the girls' future; they were to go, not to Menorca or anywhere like it, but to his huge station in the Australian Outback, to do some work for a change and grow up. And Charles was to change both girls' lives in more ways than one.
