He listens, says nothing, and follows the Captain.Barrington considers what was meant by the word "surrendered", and how much blood it may have cost, but doesn't ask. "I saw a mermaid off of Cowford, on the mainland. The place the Spanish insist on calling San Matteo, once," Barrington lied. "It was in the water, just north of the port. It's not true what they say, you know..." Here Barrington paused. "They don't look like us, they're not human women. When you see one, when sailors follow them, they're not really deceived. Any sailor would know exactly what it was he was chasing." Barrington seems satisfied with his invention, and it might elicit something else inadvertently.Barrington notes the change of subject. "Hm. I believe that's so, sir. I met the woman last night for a first time." Barrington again pauses, as if thinking about what next to say. "She told me nothing of what she intends."</blockquote>
