A Note From Mr. Fish
Rev Hastie is in his solicitor's office. Many witnesses have testified about Miss Pigot's inappropriate behavior, but the testimony is inconclusive. Mr. Hastie needs a witness who can turn the judge against Miss Pigot. A man whose testimony will be so shocking the judge can't dismiss it. The defense team thinks Mr. Fish can turn the tide in their favor. Rev Hastie can't imagine what the man might say. He'll find out soon enough, and it will reveal more about Rev Hastie's character than Miss Pigot's.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
After court yesterday, Mr. Gasper expressed concern that things aren’t going as well as they should. He asked me to speak to you about a new witness.”
I swallow. “Surely you don’t think we could lose the case.”
“That’s a risk in any trial, but with a mercurial judge and no jury we face a bigger challenge. A few days ago, I received a note from your colleague Mr. Fish. Mr. Gasper and I think his testimony is just what we need to turn the judge against Miss Pigot.”
I think of my supercilious colleague. “I can’t think of anything he could contribute. If he knew anything of interest he would have told me.”
“That was my opinion until Mr. Gasper and I met with him. Mr. Fish told us he observed shocking behavior between Miss Pigot and Mr. Wilson,” Mr. Geddes says. “Activities so disgusting, his report can’t fail to impress the judge’s mind.”
