A Revelation / Raided!
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 51
Revelation
After enjoying the departure, we headed to the galley to help prepare the evening meal. Andelbert introduced Maria to Cookie, and we got to work. As Andelbert started making bread, Maria and I help with the chopping of vegetables and potatoes. While we worked, Maria began to sing. She had a pleasant voice. Not trained like the Queen’s, but enjoyable in its own way.
“That’s a fine tune, Lass. You sing well,” Cookie said. “The sound of a woman’s voice is something I dearly miss when at sea,”
“Thank you, Cookie. I find singing makes work more enjoyable.”
“Then you ain’t heard me sing. That’s for sure.”
We all laughed.
That evening the Captain joined the crew for dinner.
“Well, Baron, I, for one, am interested in hearing how you managed to end up as a guest of the King of France.”
The crew all raised their voices in approval.
“And your adventures with that pirate, Captain Peanut Butter.”
