![]() ![]() ![]() The news is distressing, but Dido soon receives a challenge to distract her: to lure the captain's daughter, Dutiful Penitence, out of the cabin where she has concealed herself since her mother's death. When Dido awakens, she finds that she is half a world away from home, and it may be another year before she can get back to England. Young crew member Nate Pardon tends to her during her long slumber. In the opening chapter of Nightbirds, she sleeps in a box of straw on the deck of the Sarah Casket, a whaler out of Nantucket, the crew of which plucked her from the water. When last seen, Dido Twite was bravely clinging to a broken spar as she floated in the ocean. The Hanoverians are up to new tricks in Nightbirds on Nantucket, the third installment of Joan Aiken's Wolves Chronicles. ![]()
