The item that His Holiness the Pope left Marroon for Brisbane maybe a teasing reference to [[thomas_de_montmorenci_florence_mary_m-p|T de M.M-P]].

There is also a note that 'Miss Hollinsworth, known to readers as 'Aston Rose'(?) left Maroon 'to our regret'. The Hollinsworths came out on the same ship as Matilda and her family when emigrating to Australia.

   * 'T. de M. M.P.' (Thomas de Montmorenci M-P) contributed an essay on steam navigation and possibly other items including a poem on the joys of riding:\\
