1904. Johnston, an American novelist, wrote books that combine romance with history. She is chiefly remembered for To Have and to Hold, a story of colonial Virginia, and its successor, Audrey. The book begins: But if we return not from our adventure, ended Sir Mortimer, if the sea claims us, and upon his sandy floor, amid his Armida gardens, the silver-singing mermaiden marvel at that wreckage which was once a tall ship and at those bones which once were animate,-if strange islands know our resting-place, sunk for evermore in huge and most unkindly forest,-if, being but pawns in a mighty game, we are lost or changed, happy, however, in that the white hand of our Queen hath touched us, giving thereby consecration to our else unworthiness,-if we find no gold, nor take one ship of Spain, nor any city treasure-store,-if we suffer a myriad sort of sorrows and at the last we perish miserably.
