Summary
When she shuts her eyes, Miranda hears the terrible click of a gun misfiring and James’ wretched cry; smells the acrid gunpowder; feels the weight of the small paring knife leave her hand to embed itself in Peter Ashe’s eye. Then there is the awful aftermath. James’ equally surprised and horrified expression as he stares at her face, splattered with foreign blood— his slowly spreading manic grin and choked laugh upon realizing that she’s uninjured. The subsequent mad dash from the manor. If the last vestiges of Miranda’s old life were embers, they’d been used up after that.
Miranda survives the Charles Town confrontation with her belief in the possibility of reconciliation with Civilization shattered. The Walrus crew are still becalmed. The Maroons still agree to an alliance. The future impact of her presence and new outlook, however, remains to be seen.
