I loved what you had to say at your intro. I myself was saying as I posted mine, "If only I had time to go back and fit in some more piratey talk and language... ." I shall now keep in mind your well written thoughts.

Cool story. You even managed to write in your distaste for pirate language in a way that worked so very well. Ha. Proper English gentlemen...

Lovely ending. Do make sure you tie up your prisoners the proper way.
