Great Scott!
When the Foreign Mission Committee presented new terms so Mary Pigot could continue as Lady Superintendent of the Female Mission in Calcutta, the Ladies' Association and Mary Pigot reluctantly accepted the new terms. Now the new agreement has reached Calcutta, and William Hastie is furious. He wanted Mary dismissed. Instead, she'll keep her job. He calls a meeting of the local Corresponding Board. Another piece of what will become a legal puzzle is about to be played. Will Rev Hastie get his way?
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Calcutta
William Hastie
Great Scott! That woman’s bamboozled Dr. Scott as well as the Ladies’ Association. Miss Smail’s letters, Mr. Gillan’s testimony—all for naught. I read through Mr. Macrae’s letter again. Miss Pigot agreed to the new arrangement. Of course, she did. It’s exactly the same as the old arrangement, with the added bonus of humiliating the Corresponding Board. Is there no end to their blindness and stupidity?
“Mr. Hastie, sir?” Falak stands at the door. “The gentlemen are in the conferring room.”
