"Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship into port before nightfall." | "I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me?" | "Of course, your Highness." | "Do the tides command this ship?" | "Um, I'm afraid I don't understand." | "You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. Do the tides command this ship?" | "No, Princess." | "And if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore?" | "No, Princess." | "Well, then, maybe you should worry less about the tides who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about me, who's still mulling it over."
