Mr. Fortune's Maggot

1927. From the author of the delightful Lolly Willowes or The Loving Huntsman comes this charming fiction: Though the Reverend Timothy Fortune had spent three years in the island of Fanua he had made but one convert. Some missionaries might have been galled by this state of things, or if too good to be galled, at least flustered; but Mr. Fortune was a humble man of heart and he had the blessing which rests upon humility: an easygoing nature. In appearance he was tall, rawboned and rather rummaged looking; even as a young man he had learnt that to jump in first doesn't make the bus start any sooner; and his favorite psalm was the one which begins: My soul truly waiteth still upon God.
