Synopsis

Excerpt from Entertaining the Islanders

In 182 5 Sir Peregrine Wilder was the British governor, and one afternoon driving about the outskirts of the town with Lady Wilder, and feeling very much like God, he pointed to a bottle-shaped swamp that ran in from the harbor between low hills, and said, I think there IS the spot for our botanical garden. Unconsciously he chose the swamp because it was the hardest possible place to start a botanical garden, and that afternoon, as has been said, he felt very much like God and very English.
