As a boy, one character in this work tries to make his voice sound like his friend Timmy Croucher. Later, Percy Smith discusses Darwin aboard the Leviathan, and wonders along with Horace Borrodaile why one of the main characters never moves from a red velvet couch. In this novel, the Prince Rupert drop symbolizes exploded belief systems, and Mr. Jeffris kills a native during a journey to Bellingen. The narrator is a great-grandson of one of the title characters, and claims "In order that I exist, two gamblers, one Obsessive, the other Complusive, must meet." Those two gamblers bet on whether a glass church can be constructed and transported by Easter Sunday to a settlement in New South Wales. For 10 points, name this novel about an Anglican reverend and a glass-factory heiress, by Peter Carey.
