The pirate babe is his older ex-partner's daughter - she just didn't want to
Waite any longer. Which is just as well, since Doolittle's wife was fooling
around with his partner! As to whether they were barristers or soliciters, ya
got me! We only have one form of lawyer here (all at once: And That's One Too
Many!). ;-)
Doolittle is simply being honest and admitting he is a pirate (Oooooooo, I'm
gonna get sued). His partner wants his daughter back. She doesn't want to
go. The authorities are under the impression that she is being held hostage,
so are reluctant to engage him broadside to broadside.
I like the parrot offering the (unsolicited) advice.
