Admiral, you naughty thing, there are numerous items missing from my cabin since its restoration, and you will return them. I cannot be expected to finish a novel when you're making off with bits of the manuscript.

If you wanted so badly to read it, you might have simply waited for the new chapter along with everyone else.

Did you know that my wife is an actress?

I could hardly be prejudiced against the career since it was through the theatre that my sister supported us when we were younger. I appreciate the sentiment. My Jeanne is beautiful and clever, and perhaps a bit too much of both for me. I hope she doesn't find me a dull stick of a mate.
