:34:03
Aye. But the question is,
do we need the one?

:34:12
Gentlemen!
:34:16
On my way to Ashwood House,
l received a message.

:34:19
lt said that l might find
better entertainment here.

:34:23
Who peached?
:34:25
l can spare you five minutes.
:34:27
Well, here it is. The men's hearts
ain't in this business any more.

:34:32
What do the men want,
plainly and simply?

:34:36
Before they'll run another cargo,
they want a bigger share.

:34:40
lt ain't right that
some should take all the chances

:34:41
while others
pockets all the profits!

:34:43
You may give yourself airs
above ground, Mr. Kiss-me-hand Fox,

:34:47
but down here
you're no better than we are.

:34:51
You witless, gutless
misbegotten gallows-bait!

:34:56
Before you thought yourselves
desperate fellows

:34:59
if you smuggled two kegs
a month in a load of mackerel!

:35:02
l turned your paltry swindle
into a trade worth thousands!

:35:05
And l claim the captain's share
because l earn it!

:35:13
Now, gentlemen,
anything else you wished to discuss?

:35:19
No?
Then if you'll excuse me.

:35:27
''Strengthen ye the weak hands,
and confirm the feeble knees.''

:35:31
lsaiah 35:3.
:35:36
l'm for bed.
:35:57
Here, best see to this.
Cover it up.
