Continental Privateer (Open PM First)

"First, my dear," he said, "Let us get you dressed and then we will be off to the shop down the road to fetch the right clippers for your hair and then to the dress and tailors for your dresses and then grocery for food. Having been gone for so long the cupboards are now bare." He frowned a bit as he spoke with his back to her. In the back of his mind he was still playing the name, her new name to ensure that it sunk in so that it replaces her old memory. They would have a tough time of it but after some jitteriness he was able to calm himself. He was the captain of a ship and a privateer, he had to be able to calm himself and make decisions under these trying circumstances knowing that out there spies would be watching, not just for the Crown but also from her father.

When she was out of the tub and dressing he began scooping out the water she left behind with a cup and filling a bucket which would be dumped into the street and in th gutter. He could use a bath himself but to heat and bathe would take too much time thus he would skip it for the time being until all the other important matters at hand were dealt with.
