The Proof We Need
Rev Hastie is at Col Walker's trying to find out why he was sent the slanderous letters, and if he has to forward them. He doesn't want to send them ahead. The contents are too scurrilous. Even worse someone might hold him responsible for Miss Pigot's behavior. Meanwhile, Miss Pigot thinks everything is settled and makes plans for her return to Calcutta. I'm taking time with the letters, because they are the crux of the later court case. Inevitably, personal animosity morphs into political expediency. Rev Hastie hesitates. Col Walker demands Rev Hastie to forward them to Dr Scott, or he'll send them himself. And then how will Rev Hastie look? Hastie still hesitates, but he doesn't refuse.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Dr. Scott is head of the Foreign Mission Committee. He’ll mount a full investigation, and we’ll put a stop to Miss Pigot once and for all.”
I ponder the situation. It’s my duty as head of the mission to send the letters on, but once unleashed, who knows where the accusations will go?
“Mr. Hastie, if you don’t send the letters to Dr. Scott, then I will. This is the proof we need to remove Miss Pigot and restore harmony among the greater mission.”
I stand and put out my hand. “Colonel Walker, I truly wish I’d never seen these letters.”
