The bell struck; and at the pipe of the bosun's call the hammocks came flying up, close on two hundred of them, to be stowed with lightning rapidity into the nettings, with their numbers all turned the same way; and in the rushing current of seamen Jack stood tall and magnificent in a flowered silk dressing-gown, looking sharply up and down the deck.

It's a botanical sensation! He'll be addressing the Institut with Jack as his beautiful assistant/specimen.

Imagine the effect on the audience, though. Not sure the philosophers could handle such a wave of naval testosterone!

Very sorry, my dear, but I don't think they took lady members at the time. Male members only. Lots and lots of 'em *g*

Damn those male members! I don't suppose I'd get away with it if I bound up the old boobs and stuck a sausage down the front of my breeches, would I? Although that does rather defeat the object of the exercise... and there is still the question of the giveaway 'child-bearing hips'
*scratches chin thoughtfully*.
Maybe I'll just loiter outside looking all come hitherish... a member might just come hither? Maybe?
