Finally I had to give way to my yearning that insisted I write a context for my next Alice Photo Manipulations. I'm sure we could make a great story of this brief passage, but for now the words are written simply to facilitate my manipulations. I hope you all enjoy them ...
ALICE’S VOYAGE INTO SLAVERY …
Alice whirled and turned, trying to find somewhere to run to, to free herself from the odious attention of the ship’s officer. But the captain emerged from the cabin behind her and with a few swift steps caught her and twisted her arm high behind her back, whispering confidentially into her ear.
"You stupid girl, do you not know that a ship’s captain rules by example? Had you but stayed below with me you might have learnt a trick or two to take to your new life, but now I must offer the crew something or they will leave you with precious little."
He turned to his crew. I could see a crafty smile slide across his face. "She is a pretty piece is she not? But I think she needs a little taming before I break her properly for her new master, in the West Indies, whoever that might turn out to be. Will you help me teach her a lesson that she will never forget boys?"
There was a resounding chorus from more men than Alice realised were on board, making her blood run cold.
