The curse became a favourite theme in Hungarian literature. A poem written in 1832 by the great 19th century Romantic poet, Mihály Vörösmarty, explains the origin of the curse as the bloody wars fought for the territory of Hungary in ancient times: The Curse “Men!” said the Pannon god of bane in olden times “I bestow to you a happy land; you should fight for, if you want her.” So great, brave nations fought dauntlessly for her, And the Magyar won a bloody victory at last. Oh, but contention remained on the souls of the peoples: the land Can never become happy under this curse.

At the centre of many early stories, there was Ena Sharples (Violet Carson), caretaker of the Glad Tidings Mission Hall, and her friends: timid Minnie Caldwell (Margot Bryant), and bespectacled Martha Longhurst (Lynne Carol).

Headstrong Ena often clashed with Elsie Tanner (Pat Phoenix), whom she believed espoused a dauntlessly loose set of morals. Elsie resented Ena's interference and gossip, which most of the time had little basis in reality.
