Hugh Hamilton
"I guess it could work," Hugh said after a good deal of thought, "maybe…"
"Is that a green light or what?" asked Ben.
"Possibly. It's not a very good plan, but it's all we've got."
"Okay..."
"I do have a problem with it though; there is no guarantee that he will invite you on the whaling expedition. Just ‘cause he's drunk doesn't mean he'll start asking strangers to hunt whales with him."
Ben shrugged.
"But if he's drunk," he said, "and we ASK him to go whaling, there is a good chance that he'll accept."
"Yeah, all right," said Hugh. "It's worth a try."
"Excellent, let's go."
"Yes but where?"
Ben's grin flopped off his face.
"I really don't know," he moped.
