Kirsten attacked. This battle was successful. She had spooked her prey and witnessed the reappearance of the Randolph daughter, Catherine. Her reinforcements were charming folks indeed: Trevor Coffman and his brothers Edward and Charles from England, and Ross and Joanne Garret, a lovely but illegal marriage of black and white. Also, there were the adventurous Jacob and Ruth Newsome. (All found in Gray Lace, released 2015)
Not many sunrises and sunsets later, Kirsten took yet another train ride. This time, she traveled home to New Orleans, in the company of a bounty hunter and her husband. They turned John Pettigrew over to the Louisiana law authorities, who took a dim view on murder, conspiracy, and excessive greed. She instructed the judge to place her husband in the dampest, darkest, most disgusting hole in the state.
Louisiana had the best.
Kirsten dedicated her time, money, and energy to her father’s dream: find, buy, and return Turner’s paintings to London’s Tate Art Museum. With excitement, she found and bought one, The Roman Waterfall. It hung in the Stewart home in Charleston. Traveling back to her city of victories would not be a chore, this time.
