As per usual, I'm posting this a wee bit early for those of you who are ahead in the timezones from me, especially since at my new job I have absolutely NO chance to get on LJ during the day.

A IS FOR AMERICAN

“You have to admit, Horatio, that it’s a lovely city.”

Horatio looked at the buildings of New York disdainfully. “Maybe so, but they stole the designs from us.”

Bush glanced at him. “I wasn’t aware you were so bitter about losing America.”

C IS FOR CAT

Horatio entered his cabin and brushed his hair from his eyes, waiting for his heart rate to return to normal before he attended to business. The Sutherland had just encountered a French ship, and after a short but intense battle, their quarry had slipped away, nursing several gaping holes in her side. Horatio thought it best to write a report to the Admiralty as soon as possible.
