David was studying his mother's bible in the Palm Court of the Verandah Cafe. He was eating some bacon and tomatoes when he saw Charlene walk in. " Good morning Charlene" he said with a smile as he pulled out a chair for her to sit down. " Can I get you something?".
" Just a cup of coffee" she replied as she yawned. " So I can wake up".
" I've been reading about Matthew the tax collector" he said as he sipped from a tea cup. " Jesus walked up to his tax booth and simply asked him to follow him".
" That's right" she said as the waiter brought her a huge cup of the steamy beverage. " That's how he asks everyone".
" He just simply asks you to follow him".
" That's right".
David noticed Fourth Officer Boxhall walk in. " Good morning Mr Boxhall" he said as he put his tea cup on a side table. " I've wanted to ask you something".
" What's that?".
" I've always wondered what the dimensions of this huge ship are?".
" She's 104 feet long with a tonnage of 46,328". He sat down in an empty chair and took off his hat. " Right now her speed is between 24 and 25 knots".
