"'Besides,' he said after a pause, 'you cannot talk bawdy with parsons. It ain't fitting.'
"'But you never do talk bawdy,' said Stephen. It was true, or at least almost true: although no kind of prude, Jack Aubrey was a man who preferred action to talk, fact to phantasm, and although he did possess a small stock of lewd stories for the end of dinners when imaginations grew warm and often lubricious he usually forgot them, or left out the point."
--Patrick O'Brian, The Ionian Mission, 47
