on apping to high_seas

[isapoet]

Oh la, my dear you must be rather ill - either in mind or body - to think that I would do well in a world where I am being forced to roam about with pirates!

If there is any argument you could issue, I would like to preface it with this: I am not keen to leave my husband. Or my brother for that matter. We've only just managed to start our lives over again in England and here you have me giving up that happiness for this adventure!

While I might have been less angry about this in my youth I can tell you now that your fantasies of my being a lady pirate are more fictional than I could ever be.

And as a consummate actress, that is a feat unto itself is it not?

Think it over, dear. Without my regards.

[here is just the person you wanted to see, isn't it Marguerite.]

The cleverest woman in France as a pirate? A ludicrous idea-and yet one that I would like to see for myself.

[almost as much as Robespierre himself, my dear.]

You will have to entertain such fantasies in your own time, Chauvelin. As it is, I will be doing my part to ensure such a thing does not occur. I'm rather ill fitted for the sea.

I'm sure that you can adapt to any situation, Marguerite-be it English aristocracy or the high seas.
