Jacky Tar Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 If you are speaking of the one I received in my room, the blue one with the card that said something lovely about ...'as blue as my eyes....Yes...I adore it!" Another aside to Miss St. Claire, "Odd, the dress I told the seamstress t' take was light green, and reminded me of the gowns young brides wear. If I had sent a card, it would have read, 'To a women who is always the bridesmaid and never the bride...'. The dress had been made for a Lady-in-Waiting." Pauses, "No matter, if the one ye received is t' yer likein', keep it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Tess shoots a look to Ransom,"Be careful, Dearie....you may not wake up with him by your side...but you may find a dagger in your back!" To Lady Saint Claire, Oh come now, Tess. I'm about to hand you my rebellious first mate on a platter to do with as you will—to a point. Besides, I'm sure, in your long and...interesting...life, you've had worse things tossed at you than Creme Brulee. Say, a certain Lord Darnley? I'm in no fear of my back. Regards, Ransom I hand the note and a coin to a nearby sailor, with instructions on where to deliver it. I give Jacky a puzzled look. "I wonder how Tess throws her voice that way? After all, we've walked quite a ways from the Pub, and I can hear her just like she's standing next to us. Must be something they teach you in court." ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Jacky Tar Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 "My descretion says stay, and let's continue our walk...and our talk. Who knows where either may lead?" They have walked far enough to reach the Relentless, which is in port for refitting and to take on supplies. A surly roughneck guarding the gang plank approachs them, he recognizes Jacky, tips his hat and returns to his post. Jacky turns to Ransom, "Welcome aboard the Relentless, and watch yer step, luv." "Seein' yer not a captain and ye turned over yer first mate t' Tess. Ye must be Catholic! Have ye considered becomin' Protestant? They offer divorce!"
