Miss Pigot's Courage
Rev Hastie stands in the witness box while his barrister drags out Hastie's answers to show Rev Hastie didn't frivolously send the libelous letters to Scotland. Hastie said he consulted with every relevant colleague. Barrister Gasper presses, but why did Hastie send the letters? Why didn't he just return them? At this point, Hastie wishes he had, but it's too late. How was he to know Miss Pigot would have the courage to act against him in such a public matter? Why would she risk her reputation?
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Did you consult with anyone else about the letters?”
“I consulted Mr. Gregory, chair of the Corresponding Board; Reverend Chuckerbutty of the native church, and Mrs. Walker’s husband.”
“Why did you send the letters to Dr. Scott?” Mr. Gasper asks.
“I consider Miss Pigot an employee of the Mission Committee. They have the power to dismiss her.”
“Why forward the letters at all?” Mr. Gasper asks. “You could’ve returned them.”
I wish that I had, but I can’t share my regret now.
