This brought his sister upon him. ¡¡¡¡ "Oh! Frederick! But I cannot believe it of you. --All idle refinement! --Women may be as comfortable on board, as in the best house in England. I believe I have lived as much on board as most women, and I know nothing superior to the accommodations of a man-of-war. I declare I have not a comfort or an indulgence about me, even at Kellynch Hall," (with a kind bow to Anne), "beyond what I always had in most of the ships I have lived in; and they have been five altogether." ¡¡¡¡ "Nothing to the purpose," replied her brother. "You were living with your husband, and were the only woman on board." ¡¡¡¡ "But you, yourself, brought Mrs Harville, her sister, her cousin, and three children, round from Portsmouth to Plymouth. Where
oil painting was this superfine, extraordinary sort of gallantry of yours then?" ¡¡¡¡ "All merged in my friendship, Sophia. I would assist any brother officer's wife that I could, and I would bring anything of Harville's from the world's end, if he wanted it. But do not imagine that I did not feel it an evil in itself." ¡¡¡¡ "Depend upon it, they were all perfectly comfortable." ¡¡¡¡ "I might not like them the better for that perhaps. Such a number of women and children have no right to be comfortable on board." ¡¡¡¡ "My dear Frederick, you are talking quite idly. Pray, what would become of us poor sailors' wives, who often want to be conveyed to one port or another, after our husbands, if everybody had your feelings?" ¡¡¡¡ "My feelings, you see, did not prevent my taking Mrs Harville and all her family to Plymouth."
