Why did I not think of it before?
You shall have both food and drink.

Somebody bring water with a dash of rum in it--not too much, they are weak.

And Mr.Charles, tell the wardroom steward to get a square meal ready for this gentleman.

Might I ask your name, sir ?" "Nigel Fortescue." "Thank you, Mr.Fortescue.Mine is Bigelow, and I have the honor to command the United States ship Constellation.
