Transported Quotes

“Sarah says that the Governor thinks Master Dodd the most trustworthy man in all Port Jackson. Though she also adds that my Master puts too much faith in God - and not enough in hard work - to get us out of our misery. But it seems to me that if all my Master says about God is true, and if God were listening, then our poor lives would not be as sad. Yet, I would never dare say this aloud, as surely I would be flogged for blasphemy”
― Goldie Alexander, Transported: The Diary of Elizabeth Harvey, Australia, 1790
