62:"Angelica, Rosalind, Lavinia, and Charlotte Prendergast are known as the Golden Girls because of their beautiful hair—pure golden blond for Angelica, titian-copper for Rosalind, and ash-blond for the twins, Lavinia and Charlotte. An equally cogent reason for the nickname is the extreme wealth of their father, Major Prendergast, now in business. The dream of the Major’s life is that his beautiful daughters should marry the sons of English gentry who have migrated' to Australia. But, as with many another ambitious parent, the Major’s ruthless pride rebounds against himself; and then throws its long shadow, for many years, over the lives of the four Golden Girls. "
