And the source of his information was the Foreign Office, their own spies, those who’d used Lewrie before. He was too headstrong to suit them as well. Too prone to take the bit in his teeth and gallop to suit the gallant Nelson. But perhaps Lewrie would be the perfect addition to Charlton’s ad hoc, understrength and isolated squadron. “Old Jarvy” might have just done the Captain a huge favour. Or the greatest harm. Only time, and events, might tell. And either way, he was shot of him! ” He sat on the aftermost taffrail flag-lockers, feet atop the edge of the coach-top built into the quarterdeck to give his great-cabins light and air.
And seein’ Venice into the bargain! ’Less Charlton is lookin’ forward to puttin’ the leg over half the Venetian whores in all Christendom, too? “My thanks for a most enjoyable evening, sir,” Alan told his host. “And for such a splendid meal. I can’t recall when I’ve ever dined so well ’board ship. ” “’Twas nothing, really, sir,” Charlton purred, all modest. “Perhaps our next rencontre will allow us time for cards, hey? Keeps the mind sharp, does whist. Once we’re established—” “But of course, sir,” Lewrie lied most flawlessly.

Lewrie had an eldest son, born in ’87. Born in the Bahamas, hey? Pray God, to a white, English lady? Logic dictated that there was at least one more male offspring in the woodpile.
