put you down for it charming of you

Lu of course will advance the money

yourself and they also get out of our

profits all right

oh and I trust I didn't disturb you

thankee thankee

manner of means Miguel here sit you down

appetizer mister said ordered a book

keepers Inc in their veins not a gallant

among the whole pack

odds life madam are you going to fritter

away you use on that rubbish when I

stand ready to be your most obedient the

most devoted your most ardent protector

morning Paula oh good morning Oh q re

it's no use general q I cannot have any

affection for you we can only be friends

friends ah most unnatural relationship

I've never been printed on any woman in

my life and Demi if I'm going to begin

at 70

gentlemen news has reached us 245 ships

of the West Indies merchant fleet were

surprised by the French off the Azores

63 was suck

remainder capture we this gentlemen the

following vessels were soaked anymore

200 tons all lives lost aim total loss

winners out together book this is an

emergency

this is the worst disaster in the

history of Purdue shipping sit down sit

on their collar this is a tragedy

don't lose your head

I won't help

Jonathan yes

all the heads of all the syndicates

together at once every claim was the pay

for the last penny if it ruins us all of

course

and speaking for all British opponents

we are here to protest against the

exorbitant insurance rates that you of

Lloyds have imposed upon us since the

disaster a week ago

are you insinuating sir at Lloyds is

taking advantage of a national crisis to

to bilk British ship owners we are

insinuating nothing mr. Angus Tyne

insurance rates must be mathematically

computed according to the risks involved

if the present rates are high it's only

because the risks are proportionately I

we can't pay those rates and continue to

operate in send after ships are assured

we won't send them out at all unless the

rates are reduced all ships will stay at

home and that's our ultimatum very well

gentlemen considering our losses in last

week's disaster and the present risks

involved it would be suicide to reduce

our rates and we will not

that is our ultimatum dr. Bini decision

taken see that

gentlemen they will concede nothing but

we will break this deadlock we will go

to the Admiralty and demand that

warships be assigned to convoy and

protect merchant vessels in dangerous

waters we can then safely reduce our

rates and shipping will continue i

propose then that mr. Brook Watson and

myself head a committee to present our

case to the First Lord of the Admiralty

I oppose the motion in demanding convoys

you were demanding that the British Navy

be split in Twain depriving Nelson of

hobbies fighting strength

why years Napoleon has been ravaging

Europe while we've enjoyed the security

of our home and slept safely in our beds

at night

why because out there standing between

US and France is a bulwark of defense

our fleet and Nelson but if you weaken

his force if you rob him of hobby ships

I tell you gentlemen Napoleon will sit

on the throne of England is dead off how

long can we last without Commerce

without food Nelson as the French fleet

bottled up for too long a decisive

battle is imminent what I propose is

that we continue to ensure merchant

vessels at the old rates without convoy

you mr. langoustine how often have you

said that Lloyd is not a collection of

money-grubbing brokers but an

organization linked with a destiny of

England tonight out there somewhere

Nelson and his sailors are risking their

lives for us why shouldn't we risk our

money for them we wouldn't love your

order well shut up now every syndicate

is already on the verge of bankruptcy

what you're proposing sir is the

destruction of Lloyd and you sir are

proposing the destruction of English

you cannot write you dare not spit

Nelson's fleet if you tell the Admiralty

that Lloyd's cannot ensure ships without

convoy you will be lying in your teeth

because my syndicate come what may will

continue to ensure and at the old rate

all don't make syllogism cabbage

absolute virgo yes sir

the job would make signature 1 John next

to the orphans life

Oh

whatever good morning morning morning

hey John I'm William Joyce 1,700 pounds

what's the only one may confound

Elizabeth sir your rate is still in

force two and a half percent thank you

slaves of slaves

ship for Alexandra no Blake I'm in the

Jew civil Russians but it must have a

word what is it I should like to draw a

thousand pounds impossible station

and advance it to Metro a few weeks you

can ask that when we are carrying the

burden of British shipping alone that's

all very well but I need money

I'm sorry to press you all this time

Stacy you can't press me

butcher I joined your surrogate pair of

my creditors and survived enabled or pin

it up for that right it's my share my

syndicate but they're threatening me

with debtors prison I need it's

disparate there no doubt but there's a

sailor called Nelson who needs it more

could a station

then for them day milady

I'll be careful

good day my lord Salem how delightful

it'll be not have that pack of creditors

yapping at my heels

Chuck here I have been good for a while

think we've come to the end of a long

journey didn't I'm not going on every

day you're not suggesting divorce I'll

amount besides yes was as your husband
