Yours?

[captainhornblower]

If I were the offender, sir. Yes, sir.

[bestvoice.livejournal.com]

That's quite a few.

[captainhornblower]

One cannot go easy on offenses, particularly in times of war.

[bestvoice.livejournal.com]

At least, then, there's little fear in death.

[captainhornblower]

But much fear of death.

[bestvoice.livejournal.com]

I can assure you that the world under this one is not to be feared by the brave.

[genie-lady.livejournal.com]

That is quite a lot of offenses, sahib.

[captainhornblower]

The rules must be strict, Madam.

[genie-lady.livejournal.com]

And someone has broken them 21 times? Oh dear.

[captainhornblower]

No, ma'am.

Well. I'm sure someone has... But.

What I meant, ma'am, was that of the rules set, twenty-one have death as a possible punishment.

[her eyes smile every time he calls her ma'am]

Oh! I see, that is much better then. I was worried that you were speaking of yourself.

[captainhornblower]

Oh. Thank you for your concern, ma'am. [And it will be said often. The Navy boy is proper!]

I have... bent the rules at times, when there was nothing else to be done... but I have not broken them, ma'am. Especially not the ones that would have me hanged.
