"Where's the Mrs.?" Asked Dean as Roman walked into a cabin where the guys of the ship hung out drinking booze and smoking tobacco.

"She's resting," said Roman as he took a seat next to Dean.

"She had an eventful night and an eventful morning," he said with a smirk on his face as he lit a rolled cigarette.

"I get it so you are just going to give up the tramp life to be with one woman the rest of your life?"

"Melissa's sole purpose is to bear my children. I will take as many mistresses as I wish," he said inhaling his cigarette.

"But as my wife I want Melissa to remain comfortable which means there are a change of plans. She will no longer be told to take care of us. The only man she will be taking care of is me. She won't be in the kitchen making our meals and she will not be cleaning up after us. That's what the servants are for. Melissa is not a servant of anyone else but me."

"I'll make her as comfortable as possible, Captain and I will alert the others to do the same."

"Thank-you, Ambrose. I want her to be provided with a meal as soon as she awakes. I need her to put on a little more meat onto her body. She hasn't been eating like she should. I don't think her father allowed her to eat."

"Old Man Bohemas treated her like a prisoner, Roman. Melissa was never allowed out of his home without him and she was never allowed out of his sight."

"I've heard a bit from Melissa," he said.

"I would imagine her life hasn't been easy for a while now. She's a beautiful girl."

"A rare beauty," said Roman.

"How is the married life treating you?"

"It's not a marriage it's just a business transaction between Bohemas and me. He got his gold, I got his daughter and hopefully soon she bears me a child or more," he said.

"It's just a business transaction?" asked Dean.

"Is that why you're so worried about her being taken care of? Is that why you want her to be so comfortable?"
