 Why does the Captain resist marrying Wanda?
VOYAGE TO FAR N'JURD I "I don't see why we have to be here," a crewman said. "So he do; an' I'll tell ya, hit shore is time he's a-gittin' hyere. While the priest stood before the speaker's rostrum waiting for silence, the captain reached back with great dignity and scratched his right shoulder blade. Nestir, the priest, was dressed out in the full ceremonial costume of office. And then, more loudly, "Men!" "Three, you will recall, were wise.
