The month was September and the place was in the neighbourhood of
Bridgetown, in the island of Barbadoes. The seventeenth century was
not seventeen years old, but the girl who walked slowly down to the
river bank was three years its senior. She carried a fishing-rod
and line, and her name was Kate Bonnet. She was a bright-faced,
quick-moving young person, and apparently did not expect to catch
many fish, for she had no basket in which to carry away her finny
prizes. Nor, apparently, did she have any bait, except that which
was upon her hook and which had been affixed there by one of the
servants at her home, not far away. In fact, Mistress Kate was too
nicely dressed and her gloves were too clean to have much to do
with fish or bait, but she seated herself on a little rock in a
shady spot not far from the water and threw forth her line. Then
she gazed about her; a little up the river and a good deal down the
river.
