It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single pilot in possession of a good ship must be in want of a navigator.
"My dear Captain Bennet" said his own navigator to him one day, “have you heard that Captain Bingley has berthed a fine ship, the Netherfield Park , at the port and I am thinking of what an excellent thing it is for our five navigators; therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no occasion for that - you and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better Captain Bingley might prefer you."
"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of spacefaring but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now for when a navigator has five grown up navigators, she ought to give over thinking of her own adventures."
