is a woman who is modern without being
mendacious. She is. by no means unique
in that she regards ships with jealousy.
She feels, without ever having been told,
that ships steal the hearts of men. Some
ships do. They fill the heart and the eye
and inspire love. Some ships are fine
ladies-not necessarily liners either-they
are tall and stand -offish and you have to
WOO them for years before they recognize
you for a real lover. This ship is not a
fine lady-rather saucy little nursemaid
who will let you walk with her for spell
