Excerpt from The Holy City: Jerusalem II

She tried to regain her usual serene confidence. Why should she despair now, she asked herself, just when her cause was progressing so well, when the Gordon Colony had been strengthened by the addition of some fifty sturdy, capable Swedes, who had come over from Amer ica, and when still more of these good, dependable people were coming from Sweden. In reality her mission' had never appeared so promising as at that time.
