because I thought some of you might find this as fun as I did...

The will of Captain Obed Gardner, 1841. (Yes, it's an actual will, though he wrote it long enough before he died that almost all of it was negated. Belindy's husband died by overturning his dory - the Captain was right, he really was a lubber, who overturns a dory?? And Ezra returned, having made his fortune, and patched things up with his father.)

(ETA: I meant to post this to perfect_duet, see what happens when you try to listen to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" at the same time as posting?)
