The Shipman - now he knows a thing or two about
maiden voyages - and how maidens can be sunk.
All it takes is a husband more interested in the
kind of figures only accountants find attractive,
add a licentious monk, then subtract any kind of
morals the wife might have ever possessed.
The sub-total? Our not-so-celibate holy man preaches
a new gospel to the fallen soul, converts her to his own
way of thinking, then leaves her to do the explaining.
And the final sum? The husband insists on being repaid,
on principle, and the wife shows him ways of repaying debts
that need no principle at all. The lost maiden has resurfaced! |
