Major Philpot and the Elopement That Backfired
Major Philpot enlists George Green to thwart a planned elopement between Arabella Philpot and Pillkins. Green shadows the party, fails to prevent the escape, and Pillkins flees with Arabella, only to be outwitted later when the carriage scene proves a ruse. Arabella and Pillkins marry. Philpot forgives, and Pillkins rises politically with the Major’s support.

A reflective poem about blindfolded patience and surrender to a higher plan. The speaker endures darkness and heavy burdens while learning that doors open and burdens lift not by personal will but by a divine, unfathomable purpose. The refrain Not as I will repeats, guided by love that precedes and accompanies the journey.
