"On The Edge Of A Plain" is a sketch story by Australian writer Henry Lawson, featuring his recurring character Jack Mitchell. The story was originally published in ''The Bulletin'' on 6 May 1893, and was collected in ''While the Billy Boils'' in 1896.〔''The Penguin Henry Lawson Short Stories'' (first published 1986); with an introduction by John Barnes, Camberwell, Victoria: Penguin Books Australia, pp. 1-16, 221-6〕 It is considered among Lawson's best Mitchell stories.〔 ==Plot summary== Mitchell and his mate drop their swags, and sit down in the mulga shade on the edge of a plain. Mitchell reflects about the last time he saw his family, after having been away for eight years. While he speaks, he holds a young cattle-pup, and intercuts his tale with the occasional observation about the pup's feet, or a request for a knife. With the tale complete, Mitchell and his mate take up their swags, "() their unshaven faces to the wide, hazy distance, and () the timber behind them."
