A Pirate's Promise Quotes

“What’s wrong?”  she began quietly, her large, liquid eyes illuminated with hysteria.  She laughed like a loon and said, “Where shall we begin?  I’m tired.  I’m sore.”  Her voice began lilting and rising, getting louder with every sentence.  Grabbing at her chest, she shouted, “I’ve got a corset wrapped so tightly over my breasts that I can hardly breathe!  I lost both my socks and my shoes!  My hands are a pulp of lacerations!”  She lifted them up before her, fingers spread, and laughed again.  “I’ve a gash -- a throbbing, bleeding gash on the back of my scalp!  And let’s not forget to mention that I’m surrounded by men of the most vile, disreputable character imaginable, stuck on board a ship, in the middle of the bloody Atlantic!”
