    Summary

    I glimpse my beloved through stone lace
    That is all that keeps me alive each night
    Too much! To unveil that flame-like face
    Moth-drunk, I would burn in that light
    -- Mast

    Summary

    I was called "inscrutable" by a man who had never smiled at me in an entire year, who sometimes responded to my "Good morning," with a little tip of his patrician head, as though speech was something he'd have to hold in reserve for someone who counted.

    Summary

    It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910
    King Edward's on the throne;
    It's the age of men
    [...]
    A British nanny must be a gen'ral!
    The future empire lies within her hands
    And so the person that we need to mold the breed
    Is a nanny who can give commands!

    -- from "The Life I Lead" (Lyrics: Robert B. Sherman)

    Notes

    A brilliant backstory for a walk-on character that creates the same complex history as the book does. The prose is poetic and deceptively simple, and full of how the sea affects sailors whether they leave it behind or not.
