Excerpt
Excerpt-Tavara dashes up the gangplank. “Ahoy, the quarterdeck,” she calls, stepping onto the craft. “Captain Clatheos, what a pleasure to see you again!” She embraces the burley man.
The captain pats her gingerly on the back, then steps away, his bright blush shining against his white whiskers. “Ahem. Ms. Tinker, always a pleasure. Where are we off to on this fine evening?”
“We’re heading to Paris tonight, my good captain.” She produces a sheaf of papers from her valise, handing them to the captain. “Here are the coordinates.”
“Ah, yes. Ms. Tinker, if I may, I know we are a bit late in making our departure. However, please don’t blame Mr. Barrymore. Much of the delay this time was mine.”
Tavara glances at Jonathan, then locks her eyes on the Captain. “You boys and your loyalty.” With a sigh, she glides toward a door at the front of the quarterdeck, pausing a moment before entering her stateroom. “I have some work to do. Please, let me know when we’re ready to lift off,” she says before sweeping out of the room.
