Patrick O'Brian Quotes

You Were Always Grossly Obese,' Observed Stephen. 'Were You To Walk Ten Miles A Day, And Eat Half What You Do In Fact Devour, With No Butcher's Meat And No Malt Liquors, You Would Be Able To Play At The Hand-ball Like A Christian Rather Than A Galvanized Manatee, Or Dugong. Mr Goodridge, How Do You So, Sir? I Hope I See You Well.' This To Jack's Opponent, A Former Shipmate, The Master Of HMS Polychrest And A Fine Navigator, But One Whose Calculations Had Unfortunately Convinced Him That Phoenixes And Comets Were One And The Same Thing - That The Appearance Of A Phoenix, Reported In The Chronicles, Was In Fact The Return Of One Or Another Of The Various Comets Whose Periods Were Either Known Or Conjectured. He Resented Disagreement, And Although In Ordinary Matters He Was The Kindest, Gentlest Of Men, He Was Now Confined For Maltreating A Rear-admiral Of The Blue: He Had Not Actually Struck Sir James, But He Had Bitten His Remonstrating Finger.
