Thank you Sir, I-i-i-i-i-i would be grateful for your aid. Oh, M-m-m-m-m-ms Hully, I am so s-s-sorry, I will t-try not to s-s-stutter so. I only do it when I'm nervous. Our Liuetenant, Mr Fitzwilliam Casuabon-Henchard, is away to the village to order up entertainments for the evening. It is our new Captain who w-will be hosting luncheon. I think he may have spent some tim in this part of England in his past, for it was he who insisted we sojourn here, though we are s-s-supposed to be in the North.
