Capt. Sterling

argh, I knew you'd say that. Ok, 10 more minutes messing around here then I'm off to draft up the little swabs mantua. I even managed to get her to hold still long enough for the measurements (& not one square of chocolate was used in bribe either!) ohh, but if I get the pattern done tonight, I can go fabric shopping tomorrow geeze you can find wool in the shops by you??

Yeah the puppy's been doing a lot of that as well, guess it doesn't help throwing the ball for him...

My word let's hope not!!

^ not open to even those I know well, loyal to all until they play the betrayer, then I can forgive but I would rather move on after that... but attack my crew and family be warned...I will not start a fight but damnation I will finish it! < Oh I still get involved with too many things... spread thin most of the time V favorite place to do research?

Nice find Cheeks but this is a slide, meant to be worn on a ribbon, not a ring...

Do ye be meaning skate around? My yard is all ice...

Sew!

^ brutally fierce and honest < Nastier than I am? hmmm most people think that because they do not know me or feel threatened by me... I tend to listen more than talk so folks think I'm a snob... not only that but I suffer from tunnel vision when a job needs to be done... I tend to over focus on the task at hand and people literally need to shout at me to get my attention... V girly girl or tomboy, man's man or lady's man?

Went to see Ghost Rider, fun. Sewing...hmmm got my black wool for the mourning suit, but still at a loss for lining... so the red coat is cut, except for lining, and the grey coat pattern (1720) is adjusted and ready to go, and the black wool will be cut along with the grey tomorrow.... As soon as I can I'll order the silk for the red and grey coats and black linen for the mourning coat... but two more weeks before the spending money comes in ... then lining and Whydah Cartridge boxes from Captain Midnight!! Woo hoo!

We shall certainly take that as a compliment!

^ Unfortunately usually too busy to run up and say hello and not always certain what on-line people look like, which can only complicate matters < Step up and say hello, most of us don't bite... unless asked to. V Like to check out a new person for yourself or do you go by the opinions of others that talk about people behind their backs?

^ happily occupied < Do well enough with sewing to keep the crew in clothing V limelight or background helping them in the limelight look good?

^ hmmm good question, I don't really have a favorite that I keep playing over and over...usually watch and move on to a new one... < Black wool for mourning suit arrived already... and I still don't have lining...so all I can do is sit and stare at it...snigger V Put a stop to a fight or walk away and not try to help?

Seems to be in England as well... When S. Pepys's father died in 1667 he 'resolved to put myself and wife, and Barker & Jane, W. Hewers and Tom in mourning, and my two undermaids, to give them hoods and scarfs & gloves'. Thus the custom of supplying mourners, including servants, and wedding guests with gloves, continued unabated. In 1685, Sir Ralph Verney records the largesse which accompanied Sir Richard Piggott's funeral, 'wee that bore up the pall had Rings, Scarfs, Hat-bands, Shammee Gloves of the best fashion.... the rest of the Gentry had Rings and all the Servants gloves...." pg.33 Sir Walter Calverley gave 140 pairs of gloves to the mourners and their servant's at his sister's funeral... pg.34 Gloves, Valerie Cummings.

^ Question, question, question... or should I say discern.. < Just came back from Ghost Rider, not as good as Spiderman but fun any way V Quiet passenger, rock the boat, or get out of the boat and walk on water?

Excellent All ye need now is a duckfoot and a pair o' slave girls! -CS Oh we've got Cheeks for that!....snigger... Good going Rats! What a crewe!!

Thirteen boarding pikes in the making... !! Go Mr. March!

An hour later found March and Sterling half way through some Dutch pudding. With already two bottles of port and rum squared away, they both had a tendency to drink themselves through a meal, and yet food had managed to have been ordered. Pipe smoke encircled their small table as a break ensued between mouthfuls and another call for more rum. “I would like to be under way no later than Monday,” Sterling announced as he laid his spoon alongside pewter plate and reached once again for his pipe. “Beggin yer pardon Captain, but I cannot see how. I know ye mean well where Mistress McKinney is concerned but we’ve a bit of storm damage still to attend to and … well… the casks will take some time in mending. Not to mention, ye still be in need of a rest. A bit more delay would do us all good,” March replied. “You explain that to Lilly,” Sterling muttered with a slight frown that quickly changed to a deep chuckle the more he thought about it. March only sat back in his chair, none too pleased with his captain’s suggestion. Sterling could not help but laugh then. “All right then I shall see to the actress. Hopefully she will take me at my word. Good God, been through a lot in the past year she has.” “Aye but then she could have married ye right off and none of it, would she have had to go alone.” March poured Sterling another glass of port and helped himself to more rum. He took a hefty sip before leaning close across the distance of table and spread of fare. “Do not be letting her get her hooks into ye again John. It will prove no good to any of us, especially you.”

^ ugh to both < Skittles tell Mr. March to call me tonight I will be home to answer this time...forgot yesterday was Valentine's day when I told him I would call back on Wednesday... sorry V what do you admire most about your best friend?

Ye might wish to keep that purse under wraps in this place. But welcome none the less and thank ye for the drink!

Leather aye, that I can agree to, but can you actually still smell the horse scent? I can't any more...just so used to it...

^ exercise?? Fencing, horse back riding and hiking... < My broken toes hurt from being at school most of the day...aw poor baby...snigger V ever go out to dinner in your kit with friends even when there isn't an event?

Anyone volunteer to write the company and suggest a skull and cross bones peep?

I LOVE this one!!! Sushi freak that I am...
