Sorry should have put a disclaimer earlier but here we go: I own nothing except Kath and Captain Tallis.
Quickly I put the parchment and compass back under the board and had to throw all my weight on the board to put it back in place. Just then there was a sharp rapping on my door. I stood quickly and swooped to get the door. I opened it and there were two pirates carrying a wardrobe. I stepped aside; they carried it over beside my bunk and dropped it, making my teeth rattle. The pirates then shuffled out. I walked over to the wardrobe and opened the doors. Inside were dresses of different sizes and patterns. I couldn't help but noticing how low cut they were. I shuddered at the thought of the women who use to wear them. How could a woman ever give herself away so easily?
Having nothing better to do I sorted through the dresses that fit and those that didn't. There was one particular dress that was too big on me and had no pattern. It was brown and at the v-neck the frills were stained with alcohol. I dug in the wardrobe and found thread, a surprisingly sharp knife, a needle, and chalk. So I drew a pattern for a pair of breeches on the dress with my chalk. I carefully cut on my lines. I had two pieces of cloth cut out in the shape of breeches. I threaded the needle and used the smallest stitch I new and sewed the pant legs together.
Once I finished sewing up the sides I took the cord from the dresses corset. At the waist line of the breeches I placed the cord around the edges and folded the cloth over it. I sewed the cloth together. It didn't take long so I put two holes in the front and pulled the cord through them. I then turned the breeches inside out to hide my stitches. So I put the breeches on under my dress. I used the cord to tie the breeches around my waist so it would fit. I was pleased with my efforts when I heard the cook call from the galley that supper was done. I slipped off my breeches and walked out into the hallway. Then it struck me, where do I go, where was Jack. Suddenly I became very scared. Out of the blue a particularly frightening pirate approached me and said, "Lost ar ya?" I shrank back and the pirate laughed cruelly.
Sorry this was kind of boring chapter hope the ending made it a little better.
