Quite annoyingly
Quaid,
I regret that the actions of today haven’t given us the opportunty for
you and I to have a good sit down. I imagine that the good people in
charge would not allow it to be private anyway, between you and I, or
that of the Frazier family for that matter. It’s a shame, as there is a
great deal to discuss and a great bit to catch up on.
I must admit, when I heard that you were pirating, and heard that you
were playing upon my own name and reputation, well, I knew that one day
or another you would be caught, that the port authorities have very
grave punishment for pirates, and that I had very little feeling
against helping find you myself. Unlike my mother, I can sometimes
believe what I see with my own eyes, I wish to know what exactly it is
that you’ve had to do at the pleasure of our President, but I do
understand what it means to have one public face, while having another
to secretly serve a government. To that effect, I will do everything in
my power to prevent any miscarriage of justice.
I still have questions about your captain as well. The copper here
that’s his relative, doesn’t like him at all and speaks very poorly of
his character. This disturbs me in that our Mr. Frazier is so
flawless
in his own character, quite annoyingly so, actually. But because he is
so ann frequently correct about such things, it troubles me that
this Tiberius is your leader. I’m going to hope that this is just one
of those family things that can get amplified, in that by comparison,
all you have to do to be the Black Sheep of that family is to forget to
cross all t’s or to properly use one’s silver.
I’m also baffled as to how our President would be interested in whale
piracy since the trade is nearly over now. Perhaps he really is
drinking as much as they say. I hope that I do get an opportunity to
talk to you soon, I would be especially grateful for more of your
knowledge of seafaring. I am an officer and part owner in a shipping
company, and have just claimed my first salvage for them. I’ve been
told it’s junk, but other than some burnt rigging, I think it’s a fine
Chinese ship.
Sincerely yours,
Seamus
Proceed to Cider in your ear
