A Winter Dream: Judy Jones
... with Judy, however most of them are just lured in and taken advantage of. She in so many words simply implies that “if I talk to you that should be enough” and to her advantage it usually is that way. Men meet many a lady, but none quite as rememberable as Miss Judy Jones.

... admiral's crowning victory over De Grasse”.
Captain Vere is a rather surprising man to be a captain, for when he is
dressed as a civilian he would never be taken for a sailor. For example, he
