Ep. 22 - Olive MacLeod, The Brave Adventurer Pt. 2


Listen Later

A young woman from a wealthy and noble background has left for Africa. She knows little of where she is heading, the culture she is going to be surrounded by, the language which the people there will speak, and, most of all, where and how her finacee, Mr. Boyd Alexander, had been murdered. In search of answers, she has begun to acquire the skills needed to survive and investigate with the help of a young couple named Mr. and Mrs. Talbot. While staying in a house in the deep of Africa belonging to Governor Temple, who has alluded that they must not venture out to where Mr. Alexander was killed, she learns she has a knack for shooting and begins to hone her skill.  She is ready for her first real excursion. However, we learned that she had broken off her engagement with the very man she is there in Africa for before leaving her home in Scotland.  Torn between two possible suitors, one a long-time friend who she had only recently learned loved her, whose friends and family insist she must say yes to or his career, and life, are over, she felt she must say no to this exciting and warming new possibility she had found in Mr. Alexander.  And yet… she did care for Mr. Boyd Alexander.  She thought of him often.  She was drawn to him.  So she had written him more letters, unknowing if he had left for Africa or would even care to respond to her letters. So… just why is she there? Join us as we take a second breath of dead air with Olive McLeod in part two of her story.
