quartermaster sergeant good heavens you

Umbridge will be pleased to build us a

flip when he as a Percy will which I

doubt who's going to pay for it no

matter of thumbs we propose to every

course to bottom ring why when this

finds itself in a foreign port without

the means to proceed elsewhere the

master is permitted to borrow money

ashore from any party on security of the

ship and its contents the maritime

contract known as bottom ray and who do

you suppose is going to advance money on

a land bound Rick we were thinking of.

the Bulge we understand one another we

will yeah yeah we take it that you

haven't yet discussed the matter with a

lady of those do I after pitch a shotgun

to you once we knew a fella like you

devoted husband who are you to tell your

truth we weren't quite so mortified as

it must be a painful experience to the

crew you known but we don't want to hurt
