We humans are a complicated species. When I write a drabble in this series, I often think of a quote in Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis. The Prince has just discovered that he is descended from pirates who came through from our world to the world of Narnia.
"I was wishing that I came of a more honourable lineage."
"You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."
Continuing on with the pirate theme, I found myself humming "Pirate Jenny" midway through writing this. It's a song from Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera. My favorite version is sung by Judy Collins.
