-{Citizen}- Leveth: I was a sailor, remember? I think I've heard some of the
more choice explitives
-{Citizen}- Thierran: My daddy was a sailor and he never swears
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: He must have been on the HMS Pinafore. Or else the
Mantlepiece.
-{Citizen}- Thierran rolls on the floor laughing
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You probably know of the Pinafore, but you mightn't know
the other. It's a similar ship mentioned in one of Gilbert's Bab
Ballads - he drew on the idea when writing the opera.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Okay. Sent.
-{Citizen}- Thierran: HMS Hermes, but I would love to see him on the Pinafore.
I didnt get the other reference, the first was enough
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Captain Reece of the Mantlepiece -
