All Comments on 'Mistress and Commander Ch. 02'

must I do everything around here? I have been informed by my usually unreliable sources that HMS Gloucester, and not HMS York, is currently on the Falkland station. I apologize for my sloppy research, and interpose a few footling excuses, viz and to wit:

1) All those type 42 Batch 3 destroyers look alike at 10000 metres.

2) I don't want to get any of Gloucester's ship's company in trouble, or get myself sued, if by the merest chance any of them resembles in the remotest way Sharyn or Mollie (Molly).

3) As I said at the beginning, I never let facts get in the way of the truth (and please don't respond "You can't handle the truth", even if you are Jack Nicholson. I know I can't handle the truth, and that's why I write what is politely called"fiction").

in the last two days by the usual brigade of trolls. Bomb away, cowards! None of you is either sufficiently articulate or sufficiently courageous to put your handle on a statement of why you dislike my work.

Thanks, Estragon. Excellent stuff.
