Papa?

And reef dem sails! Can’t corry sail like dat out dere, not dis afternoon, darlin!

Mon, dat wind really cuttin now!

Can I go in de boat, Papa?

You think you can pull dat oar out dere? (shakes his head) Boy, I know you try, but tryin ain’t de same as doin. You keep de fire burnin in de stove and see to de wants of Copm Andrew—dat be your portion.
