Text

SIR JOSEPH. You’ve a remarkably fine crew, Captain Corcoran.

CAPT. It is a fine crew, Sir Joseph.

SIR JOSEPH (examining a very small midshipman). A British sailor is a splendid

fellow, Captain Corcoran.

CAPT. A splendid fellow indeed, Sir Joseph.

SIR JOSEPH. I hope you treat your crew kindly, Captain Corcoran.

CAPT. Indeed I hope so, Sir Joseph.

SIR JOSEPH. Never forget that they are the bulwarks of England’s greatness,

Captain Corcoran.

CAPT. So I have always considered them, Sir Joseph.

SIR JOSEPH. No bullying, I trust � no strong language of any kind, eh?

CAPT. Oh, never, Sir Joseph.

SIR JOSEPH. What, never?

CAPT. Well, hardly ever, Sir Joseph. They are an excellent crew, and do their work

thoroughly without it.

SIR JOSEPH. Don’t patronise them, sir � pray, don’t patronise them.

CAPT.
