Nothing here is sustainable. A vessel this size cannot carry enough fresh water for two hundred souls to bathe and drink their fill for months on end; I would not give it two weeks, as often as everyone here bathes. We put into port perhaps once every two or three months and yet there is always fresh fruit, exotic fruit. This place is unnatural. Money ain't the half of it.

You surprise me, Mister Graham; I would expect two years without ardent spirits would set a country into a revolution that would put the frogs to shame.
