Disappointed James
There are three primary characters in Two Coins: William Hastie, the incoming principal of Scottish College; Mary Pigot, superintendent of the Female Orphanage, and James Wilson, outgoing Acting Principal of Scottish College. Each tells part of the story. James is by far the most reticent, the most deferential to hierarchy. James knows he doesn't have the credentials to be selected as principal. He also knows he's the most qualified man for the job. He swallows his disappointment and prepares to do his duty. James is a man who always tries to make the best of any situation.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Miss Pigot is correct. I should have been named Principal of Scottish College. I’ve lived in Calcutta for sixteen years. I know the local culture. I know students, and I know the curriculum. I’ve served as Acting Principal for two years. Two years! And all for nothing. The Foreign Missionary Committee wants a university man and an ordained minister. And I shall soon lead the delegation to greet him.
