I am not certain of where she opperates. Might I inquire upon what type of criminals are you searching for? Mr. Andrews, stop that!

Mr Christopher, Mr Andrews, how nice to make your acquaintances.
Although I have copious stocks of black and grey cloth, should you wish for clothing in any other colours of your choice (that is so difficult to spell when you've had a few 
), call into my discreet establishment, Cabin #10

Fine, just fine ... Which cabin were you in ...er ...er ... interested in asking about?
Don't mention the cabin - I did - just once - but I think I got away with it!

Oh look the 
is ready - anyone want some?
How is life with you Kes?
Cabin 13 - The Lighthouse Bar
Kes Posted Aug 9, 2001
Life is, thank you.
It is certainly much better than any of the known alternatives ... 
...and on this ship, it's fairly hectic at the moment .... just popped in from the Bridge for 5 minutes' rest ... and, of course, a pot of your excellent ale!

Lighthousegirl - back on board Posted Aug 9, 2001
Well it certainly seems that you have earnt it, here you go.
So what has been happening on the bridge?
Cabin 13 - The Lighthouse Bar
Kes Posted Aug 9, 2001
Oh, lots of ship-sailing type fun ... you're welcome to take a look ..
Lighthouses eh? My favourite UK lighthouse is the one at Southwold, Suffolk...d'you know it?
Cabin 13 - The Lighthouse Bar
Lighthousegirl - back on board Posted Aug 9, 2001
Its great isnt it. I went to visit it about a year ago. Beautiful area, I enjoy spending time there. I was staying in Aldeburgh and needed to find a lighthouse - you know how it is sometimes! I saw it on the map and have to confess to being a little surprised finding it in the middle of some houses
I think my absolute favourite at the moment is near Lossimouth in Scotland. I have friends who live near there and when I visit you can see it from their house. I try and make sure that I can visit the Lighthouse when ever I get up there. It is a beautiful and remote spot on the headlands of some amazing beaches *vacant gaze appears on face*
Have you ever been there?
*pours self more *

Kes Posted Aug 9, 2001
No, I never visited there, I'm afraid.
Yes, the location of the Southwold lighthouse is unusual ... part of its charm. There are two theories about it:
1) The bloke who put it there was drunk ... or
2) The locals are in for a surprise at high tide ....
I stayed in a cottage near there ... got used to reading in bed at night in three short bursts with seven seconds between them, followed by a gap of 20 seconds ......

Lighthousegirl - back on board Posted Aug 9, 2001
Personally I subscribe to both theories!
Do you enjoy reading in small bursts - it can certainly add to the excitement and mood of a good book
