Neat! Well, I'm not sure _Gloire_ will be gaming--I'm not sure that the Pirate Game can
quite accurately account for iron-hulled ships of that monstrous size. ;)

"Arrrr, this be the trusty pirate ship Fresh Daisy. Surrender or we'll wash yer decks
with fragrant flowers, ye scurvy swabs!" Actually, it's probably good to use lemon
