The First Move
Rev. Gillan dislikes Miss Pigot. He thinks she doesn't show him proper respect. Now he has an ally. Mr. Hastie doesn't get along with her. Rev. Gillan summons Miss Pigot to his office to inform her he now controls her budget. Rev. Gillan tells Miss Pigot to restore relations with her nemesis. But Mr. Hastie refuses her efforts. I don't think Miss Pigot cares. She did what was required. Perhaps she should have paid more attention.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Mr. Gillan’s jaw tightens as if he’s gritting his teeth. “Miss Pigot, I insist this alienation between you and Mr. Hastie stop immediately. I expect your full cooperation in this matter.”
I keep eye contact as I consider Mr. Gillan’s new control of our purse strings at the Female Mission. “What makes you think Mr. Hastie would accept any overtures from me?” I say calmly
“Someone must make the first move, Miss Pigot.”
“Very well. I’ll invite Reverend Hastie to our next Student Prize Assembly,” I say.
I keep my word. As soon as I reach 125 Bow Bazar, I write out the invitation. Mr. Hastie declines. Twice.
