Excerpt from Shipmates Intended for the ministry, he had been shielded from the contaminating associations of public schools, and what he knew he had learned from his parents, his nurse, his governess, and private tutor. He knew that most people were vulgar, that incor rect speech was but little less sinful than profanity, that quarrelling, even in self-defence, was shock ingly disgraceful, and that the only fit and con sistent course of action for a gentleman afflicted by sudden assault was to turn the unsmitten cheek tothe smiter. He knew that women were good in a, ratio commensurate with their beauty - that while an old or ill-favoured woman might be vengeful and dishonest, it was manifestly impossible for a young and charming girl to have a wicked thought or mo tive. As he had no sisters, and his intercourse with young ladies usually began and ended with the lifting Of his hat, it was easy for him to know this.

About the Author:
Morgan Robertson was an American writer best known for his novel Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan, a prescient novel published in 1898 about the catastrophic sinking of an unsinkable ocean liner, eerily similar to the sinking of the Titanic fourteen years later. Robertson also penned The Submarine Destroyer, Three Laws and the Golden Rule, and the short story Beyond the Spectrum, which described a future war between the United States and the Empire of Japan. Morgan Robertson died in 1915.
