Your discretion is appreciated, Captain. A true officer and gentleman if ever there was one! It may also be mentioned that the lady in question is also, at times, a British Indian Agent and is currently being sought after as a recruit by both the 10th Royal Veterans and the Royal Marines. She even had the distinction to serve under a certain Captain, albeit for a very brief time.
