Excerpt from Under the Great Seal
Newfoundland had secret ties for some of the early settlers. Alan Keith was held there by his love for Han nah Plympton. That was his secret. Season after season, when he should have gone home with the fishing ¿eet, he lingered on the Shores of Heart's Delight. Father, friends, home, religion, all were sacrificed to Hannah Plympton, and yet he had made no confession of his love. Hannah was not only the belle of Heart's Delight, she was-its good angel, and, while ambitious to win her for his wife, Alan could only regard his desire as rash and presumptuous. It Should be the reward of some gallant cavalier, or mighty sea captain who had fought a great battle, to gather the blush rose Of Heart's Delight. And if such ahero had appeared Alan would have liked nothing better than to wager his life against him for the prize.
