“Ranunculus chose that moment to saunter inside, the big orange cat going straight across to Jack to rub against his trouser legs. Clearly unconcerned about any hair the feline might be leaving behind, Jack bent to stroke the cat's striped head and back. "I see the two of you have already met," she remarked, observing the friendly byplay. Soft purrs issued from the cat, his eyes closing with contentment as Jack scratched him under his chin. "Indeed," Jack said. "This big fellow introduced himself to me while you were sleeping. He's quite expert at hogging the sofa." His gaze moved to the cat. "Aren't you... Ranunculus, is it not?" "That's right," she confirmed. Obviously Jack had gleaned additional "interesting details" from the servants. He stroked the cat's head, his voice lowering. "At least she didn't call you Buttercup, old man." "You know what ranunculus means?" she said, surprised. His gaze swung up to meet hers. "I know a great deal more on that subject than you might imagine. Let's just say you... inspired me to learn.”

“A tenger iránti érdeklődését mindannyian megértjük, némelyeknek azonban nehezére esik felfogni, hogy az irodalomban mit talál olyan figyelemre méltónak. A sagák olvasása persze élvezetes, hiszen izlandiakról szólnak, néha érdekesek és elég izgalmasak is, hősök is vannak bennük, akikhez mérheti magát az ember, a népmeséket is lehet olvasgatni, a hétköznapi életről meg a bátor tettekről szóló könyveket is, sőt egy-két verset is akár, leginkább olyan költőktől, akik izlandiakról írnak, és tudnak valamit a szénabetakarításról és a jószággal való bánásról is; na de hogy egy hajóskapitány az irodalmat egy szintre emelje a hallal, hát kérem, miféle kapitány az?”
