Of the senior Hassell, it was said:
"He is such a strong believer in Predestination that he views all his own actions even to have been for the best, and, by the omnipotence of this doctrine, reconciles to his mind the result of all matters whether adverse or prosperous. He does not believe in the existence of such a thing as “Luck” or “chance”, and has avoided the habit as much as possible of “regretting” anything that occurs in the order of Divine Providence." (Chapter the Third)
