:41:02
So that's where he was. I was looking
for him, Your Grace. That's why I was late.
:41:06
Why on earth did you bring him here?
:41:08
I thought he might amuse milady,
which is more than I could hope to do.
:41:20
- He looks like Wolfingham.
- Yes, Madam.
:41:23
The teeth, the smile, exactly.
:41:30
He's very friendly, Madam.
He won't harm you.
:41:33
You're a rascal, like your former master.
:41:36
But I'm fond of rascals.
:41:39
Some of them.
:41:41
This is the nearest we have to a tree.
Now behave yourself.
:41:46
- And now to... Capt. Thorpe!
- For you, Madam.
:41:52
As soon as I saw it,
I thought immediately of you.
:41:55
I see the light in it,
like a candle in a frosted window.
:41:58
- A West Indian pearl, is it not?
- Yes, Madam.
:42:01
By some mischance it was on its way
to Spain when I diverted it.
:42:05
You might say I came between Phillip
and the oyster.
:42:09
I fear Wolfingham is right.
You are an incorrigible pirate.
:42:13
No, Madam.
But I do have a conscience about pearls.
:42:17
They should only be worn by one
whose throat matches their own luster.
:42:20
And have you any other scruples?
:42:23
One only, Madam.
That is never willfully to displease you.
:42:26
But have you?
:42:27
I trust not, but one can be mistaken.
:42:32
I should not advise you
to make a practice...
:42:35
of diverting Spanish ambassadors.
:42:37
The ambassador's galleass
was already propelled by English oars.
:42:40
I merely substituted English sails.
:42:43
We have moral rights on our side.
Spain has the law on hers.
:42:47
- Bear that in mind in your future ventures.
- Yes, Madam.
:42:52
Now to business.
:42:55
I understand your voyage
was very profitable.
:42:57
Unusually so, Madam.
