The Priest's Daughter & The Country Girl: What I Want To Happen

What'll happen in The Priest's Daughter? Read this list while enjoying the opening theme of Gerry Anderson's The Secret Service!
  • Penelope not going to school, but instead going to Sunday school every week

  • Parker being my father, and also a father to Bluey, Bingo, Lucky and Oink

  • Penelope’s favourite pastime is going for walks in the forest to pick berries and collect honey for her father’s honey crumbles and blueberry pies.

  • Me and Penelope met by chance at the market in town, only for our fathers to drag us away kicking and screaming.

  • I break my leg and Penelope saves my life by phoning the cottage hospital.

  • I spend a few days in the cottage hospital, and Penelope refuses to return to church to determine her loyalty towards me.

  • Father Stanley Unwin raises Penelope as a baby in church and makes her a loyal Christian

  • Penelope is a good friend to the animals who live in the forest, especially the deer and the rabbits.

  • Penelope reads from the bible every night to get herself to sleep.

  • Father Stanley Unwin doesn’t talk to her daughter the moment she befriends me, as he believes it is all a sin and that it’ll mean she’ll be punished.

  • Penelope goes to sleep one night listening to the choral music in the courtyard, and is moved to tears as she thinks about me and how I’m doing in the hospital.
