Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Barrackpore Park, about twenty miles north of Calcutta, is a wonderful spot for an outing. It has lawns and towering trees. English flowers and proper pathways. And we take the train, which is always such an adventure. I love to watch the scenery pass and look out at the people along the way as the train wobbles to its destination. The children and teachers are beside themselves with excitement, and who can blame them? The only worm in the gourd, as Job might say, is Mr. Hastie’s presence. I don’t think he approves of any type of enjoyment.
