You sound British?
The gentleman had made forthright representation that he entertained no romantic inclinations towards the young lady. Yet we observed that he would frequently direct a glance in her direction whenever some dandy or ribald let rip with a pun, cant, parody or other amusing piece of wordplay. We can only presume this was in order to ascertain for himself whether she had found the antic to be an amusing one.
Okay now do it in Pirate.
Scurvy dog swore blind to the ‘ole crew that ‘e weren’t a'courtin’ the lass, that 'e 'ad no desire to dock in yon port, if you catch my meaning. But you mark my words, we marked 'ow as 'e'd always be keeping 'is weather eye turned t'ward 'er any time some perfumed fop or foul-mouthed jack tar belched out a pun, belted out a saucy shanty, or cracked some other jape or jest. Clear as the captain's drunk again, we savvy that 'e were spyin’ 'er face to see if she cracked so much as a grin.
Bravo, 10/10
