:25:02
You are correct on that, Reverend.
:25:03
If you're ready,
I'll be proud to count you the first.
:25:06
I'm not half ready, Reverend.
I love to hear you nag.
:25:10
We haven't had such a fine gab
in many a passage.
:25:13
He's at it again, Captain.
:25:15
Reverend Hale!
:25:18
I thought I told you to leave
those men alone.
:25:24
You forbade me to enter the forecastle.
:25:26
But you did not forbid me to bring them
the word of God while they are at work.
:25:31
What word were you bringing
to young Cridland?
:25:33
He kept the whole watch
awake last night
:25:35
hollering in his sleep about
hell fire and damnation.
:25:38
I reminded him briefly of his sins
:25:40
and read certain passages
from the Holy Bible.
:25:43
To an ignorant man,
the Bible can be a terrifying book.
:25:48
More than the profane novels
I observe in your cabin?
:25:51
Do you think that Smollet and Defoe
and Voltaire are profane?
:25:57
- They are damnable.
- Have you read them?
:26:00
Must I commit murder
to judge it a sin?
:26:08
Why is it with so many
attractive young people on board,
:26:11
it's always that mangy scarecrow
that's well enough to eat with us?
:26:28
Raise your spirits,
my dear friends.
:26:31
We are a full degree
nearer the equator.
:26:33
When will this dreadful rocking cease?
:26:36
Come, Brother Quigley.
You'll have your sea legs soon.
:26:40
Perhaps you'd care to shave.
:26:41
I can fetch you some hot water
from the galley.
:26:44
I don't know what we'd do
without your comfort.
:26:47
We are a family in Christ,
my dear sister.
:26:59
Would it compose you
if I were to read to you?
