Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sea Maid The last decade of Miss Dorothea Crowder´s life was undoubtedly the happiest. Throughout those years she upheld a Cause - and upheld it almost single-handed. To believe something is necessary; to believe against evidence, proves strength of conviction; but to believe alone Is heroic. Her zeal of the proselytiser did nothing to impair her comfortable sense of solitary martyrdom; for in all those ten years not a single convert did Miss Dorothea Crowder make. In the autumn of the year 1883 the young and popular Dean of Beckminster had sailed with his ailing wife for the Antipodes. It was the old-fashioned trip of mast and sail which the doctors had advised for the sad and anaemic young woman, who had borne him two children and lost them both before they had learned to speak. So Archibald Prowdeflesche, M.A., D.D. and LL.D., Dean of Beckminster, took passage for himself and for Arabella his wife on the full-rigged ship Southern Cross. Invalids were encouraged by her owners; and friends that returned to Beckminster after witnessing the departure of the ship, declared their beloved Dean and his insufficient wife to be lodged "like princes" for this voyage of recovery.
