Pirates And Prejudice
“She knew not how long she had lain awake, for in addition to the turmoil of her feelings, she had heard Mr.
Darcy’s continued pacing in the adjacent room. She looked at the small window and could see the faintest early morning light coming through. Elizabeth quietly readied herself while the other ladies continued to sleep soundly. Rather than remain in the cabin, she decided to go out and see if she could find someone to prepare her some tea.
When she came into the dining hall, crewman Michael... Jenkins was in there.
“Good mornin’, Miss Bennet. Ye’re awake early.”

“Yes, Miss. ’Tis almost six o’clock. All hands will be called to breakfast at six bells.”
“Have you been up on deck yet this morning?”
“Aye. ’Tis foggy out there.” In a soft voice he slowly added, “Hangin’ over us like a ghostly veil.”
“Ah,” she replied, smiling softly at his sombre expression.MoreLess
