must stand together.

-ls there anything l can do;

-Nothing my dear young lady.

Except to ask Harry to come and

help us fight this Frenchman.

Frenchman;

The French have made a habit of

coming call ever since...

Since the Cornish pirates have

gone over into France.

lf you like to put it that way.

l don't think you realize

how serious this matter is.

We're constantly robbed. Our women

sleep in terror of their lives.

-And not only their lives...

-That kind of a pirate;

What;

Well really madam.

l must be getting home

before dark.

-Good day madam.

-Give my duty to your wife.

Madame l will.

-William.

-My lady.

-l came here to be alone.

-Yes. l understand.

lt will not occur again.

You shall make good your escape.

Escape;

You have uncanny intuition.

-Where did you get it;

-From my late master.

Much of my philosophy

is borrowed from him.

l think he'd term your arrival

here an escape.

Why did you leave your master;

His life is such that my services

would be of little use to him.

He...

-He travels my lady.

-He's a fugitive too;

People who travel

are always fugitives.

Yes, my master has often

made the same observation.

His life, if l may say so,

is just one continual escape.

How l envy him.

The rest of us can only run away

from time to time.

However much we pretend to be free,

we know it's only for a while.

Yes.

l think you and my master

would have much in common.

Come Henrietta.

lt's time for naps.

-You may go. l'll bring the children.

-Yes my lady.

Come on Jamie. Come get dressed.

Come on.

Come on my boy.

-Did you have a nice day today;

-No.

You didn't;

Yes you did. You loved it.

You don't want to go home;

Love is a friend of mine,

my best friend.

Love is a friend of mine.

Love is my affection.

I spend my nights

singing to Iove.

Let me go!

lt seems you have been

spying upon my ship.

On the contrary.

lt seems our men have been

trespassing on my land.

My very humble apologies.

l had not realized the lady

of the manor had come in person.

ls it by your orders l was ceased

and brought here;

My men are told to bring in

anyone who ventures to the creek.

ln a sack;

You're not hurt, are you;

No.

Then what are you complaining about;

Because l am not accustomed

to being treated in such a manner.

Of course not.

But it will do you no harm.

Madame, please.

Well...

-What will you do with me;

-Yes...

l must consult my book of rules.

l have made no arrangements

to deal with females.

Most remissibly.

That's better.

Oh!

-What's the matter;

-lt was you.

You left that tobacco jar

in my bedroom.

Did l;

How careless of William

not to have noticed.

So it was for you William stayed
