Snippet

​It all started with a letter. No reason it wouldn’t end with one.
            Nothing much exciting ever happened in Dumfries, Scottish market town in the old Kingdom of Galloway.  It prospered because of its fishing fleet, and English visitors, who came to appreciate the handsome stone houses and tidy businesses, located on the lovely River Nith.
            This story begins in 1818 with two young ladies, one the daughter of a local merchant who had become quite comfortable through business dealings, cod, and herring.  The merchant may have been actually wealthy, but there is something in the Presbyterian water of Scotland that calls bragging a sin.
            The other young lady is Sally Wilson, only child of Dumfries’ minister of the Church of Scotland, retired now from the pulpit. Such a man would never be wealthy, but he would be respected. So was his daughter.
            Ten years before the beginning of this story, Margaret Patterson, daughter of the wealthy merchant, had informed a young man that she would write to him, as he sailed across the Atlantic to make his fortune in Canada. She had done it as a dare from her equally silly friends.
            She shouldn’t have teased John McPherson like this. In John’s defense, he hadn’t thought that any gently reared young lady would ever write to a man not her husband or fiancé. Youngest son of the disreputable, unwelcome McPhersons, John was dubious Martha would reply.  He only agreed to her forward scheme because who doesn’t like to get letters?
