What will happen to Phryne in the 1930s during the time of the Great Depression in Australia?
Phryne has sensible investments, and in any case the Depression didn’t really BITE here until 32, and I have no intention of letting Phryne get to 1932. 1929 is far enough… 8. When the luscious Lin Chung had his ear chopped off when he was kidnapped, he was fitted with a false ear. How does the false ear attach? E.g. is there enough flesh there to attach onto?
