Hastie's Hat
This is the first paragraph from Two Coins. The voice belongs to William Hastie, incoming principal of Scottish College in Calcutta. The year in 1879. Hastie, has no particular desire to take up the post of principal, except that the position fulfills a pre-requisite for a university appointment. I didn't originally plan to open the story with Hastie, but often an outsider puts events into greater clarity.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
I adjust my sun hat. Topi they call it. Got it at Aden. Most of the passengers went to the nearest shop, but I found mine in a gentleman’s store. The clerk said it was the highest quality. I’m not sure I believe him, but it’s certainly better than what my fellow passengers procured.
