  6. Sample Skitby Lauren Marshall (A group of pirates= A,B,C are talking when Grace=G enters) A: Women can't be pirates! B: Of course they can't! Women should only stay indoors and make pancakes for their husbands. C: Women are only concerned about how coiffed their hair is and are too afraid to be pirates. G: Aye! Did I hear you say women can't be pirates? I, Grace O'Malley, happen to be one of the fiercest sea warriors! Haven't you heard of me! I'm quite illustrious amongst pirates. B: Yes, I have heard of you. You can try and emulate male pirates, but you'll never be as good.. G: I disagree. I have visited sundry lands and waters that you'll never know of. You should be lambasted for disrespecting me, Grace O'Malley-Pirate Queen!
