to be forced to marry into the house of Dracul-Palanquin?

[Hullygully]

I need plenty of space to practice my tango rhubarb suppository is what I would prescribe Jins very old remedy. Perhaps not onboard though

Alas, having gained the safety of the Captain's cabin, I see little nourishment, much inducement to gamble!

That link was forbidden to me MadameD, and given some of the stuff we link to the mind boggles.

As the ship was setting sail I came across this young http://www.teenfi.com/image-library/port/376/g/gere-officer-and-a-gent1.jpg fella-me-lad, who had been ousted from the captain's shindig for rebelliousness. I shall attempt to keep his spirits up whilst you all explains the mysteries of juniper gin to the captain.

Try again -

sybil was the fella-me-lad's behaviour hamster related at all?

Right that's it. Enough's enough.

I refuse to sit in my cabin tatting. Well I won't be sitting will I after the helpful rhubarb suppository recommendation.

I am old and experienced enough to join you in the Captain's cabin surely???

I have been tatting for England but the dreadful to-and-fro of the ship has made me most unwell.

I will have a little lie-down in the Captain's til I feel a bit less delicate...

But of course Madame Jins. You are a Madame!

The dear gels are the Misses Fids, Honey and Sybil. It is they who must tatt.

There is some indecision about La Cheerful She is an American you know, they are quite fast.

Dear mIss Belle is taking a rest cure for a matter of the heart.

Mistress Mini, he did mention a confused story about a gerbil but I was staring into his beautiful eyes distracted by the motion of the ship so paid it no heed. In any event, he said it was all a hum made up by the ship'spurser and steward They are decided odd looking.

I am thinking of wearing this little number for the cocktail reception this evening what do you think?

The First Officer has kindly allowed me to sit on his lap until I feel better and will assist me with standing.

His mother would be proud

Cocktail reception?

I hardly think so, MISS Sybil. Your virtue must be beyond question or we will never find you a husband in the Indies. Go and embroider a nice sampler with something holy on it.

Madame Jins, may I introduce you to the chief steward? He expressed great interest in discussing linen with you.

Oh that man vexes me so much.

I merely mentioned that his 1000 thread count linen appeared to have only 987 threads and he might wish to speak to his supplier.

We in IPOAT know our linens

Hully, I think you need to chaperone the gals a bit more, [http://www.mrxstitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/5442936357_f64f826d3e_b.jpg see what I found Sybil stitching]]

Whatever is the matter with gels these days? Really? I shall have to tighten their combinations and give serious thought to the chastity belt. We don't want to arrrive in the Indies with our numbers swollen with mewling puking ill-gotten sailor bubbas, do we?

I don't even know what that means!

But Miss Sybil looks somewhat dishevelled and could do with a comb running through her hair.

Miss Sybil is frankly a disgrace. Did anyone bring the scold's mask? We must take drastic measures. But first I must pop along to discuss dear Rochester's leg with teh ship's doctor. It may be a lengthy discussion as there is much to consider.

I apologise ladies. My behaviour has been appalling and I pledge to change. I will of course unpick the sampler forthwith.

It must be some kind of onboard affliction which has affected my normally chaste behaviour (conveniently forgets the goings on at IPOAT cove) Perhaps the ship's other medical [[http://grenglish.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/mcsteamy.jpg officer] will be able to suggest a cure. I shall go to him immediately and request a thorough examination.

officer

There's no need, Miss Sybil dear. I have summoned the nurse to attend you in your cabin.

Dear ladies, I hope your first night aboard ship was to your satisfaction?

My crew is yours to command, here to attend to your every need.

I have had a most trying day, what with main braces to splice and whatnot, and would be delighted to spend an evening relaxing in such vivacious company. I do hope you will all dine at my table tonight?

most trying day

oh dear, Captain Hornblower, do you need a nice foot massage?

I am concerned, Captain Hornblower that your crew appear to share rather close quarters? Is this usual abord ship?
