No. 13.
MARRIAGE OF POCAHONTAS, to
John Rolfe took place in Jamestown Church in April,
1613. Two years thereafter she, with her husband, went
to England, and it was while at the Court of King James
she again met Capt. John Smith, who had left Virginia
in 1609, and did not return. Upon seeing him she covered
her face with her hands and did not speak a word, at
length saying, "They did tell me always you were
dead and Powhatan did send to find out the truth because
your countrymen will lie much. You called Powhatan,
Father, being in his land and a stranger, and now, for
that reason, I will call you Father." On being told by
Smith that as a king's daughter she must preserve her
dignity, she indignantly answered, "You showed no fear
to come into my father's country and to make him and
all his people but me afraid, but you fear here in England
for me to call you father. I tell you then I will, and you
shall call me child." (See cards 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12.)
