"Very well," replied Mrs. Noah, satisfied. "I don't care how it is done as long as it is done quickly. It would never do for us to be recaptured now." The suggestion of Elizabeth was carried out, and the queen herself cut the hawser with six well directed strokes of the axe.

Lifting heavy pieces of iron, my dear Portia, is not a woman’s work. Send for Delilah, and let her cut the rope with her scissors.” “It would take her a week to cut a hawser like that,” said Elizabeth, who had been investigating. “It would be more to the purpose, I think, to chop it in two with an axe.”  WITH IT OBSERVED MISSUS LOT POINTING TO THE ANCHOR ROPE IT LOOKS TO ME AS IF THOSE HORRID MEN HAD TIED US FAST THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS SNAPPED MISSUS NOAH THEY GUESSED OUR PLAN AND HAVE FASTENED US TO A POLE OR SOMETHING BUT I IMAGINE WE CAN UNTIE IT PORCIA WHO HAD COME ON DECK GAVE A SHORT LITTLE LAUGH WHY OF COURSE WE DON'T MOVE SHE SAID WE'RE ANCHORED WHAT'S THAT QUERIED MISSUS NOAH WE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT ON THE ARK PORCIA EXPLAINED THE SCIENCE OF THE ANCHOR WHAT NONSENSE EJACULATED MISSUS NELLA HOW CAN WE GET AWAY FROM IT WE'VE GOT TO PULL IT UP SAID PORCIA ORDER ALL HANDS ON DECK AND HAVE IT PULLED UP IT CAN'T BE DONE IF IT COULD I WOULDN'T HAVE IT SAID MISSUS NOAH INDIGNANTLY THE IDEA LIFTING HEAVY PIECES OF IRON MY DEAR PORTIA IS NOT A WOMAN'S WORK SEND FOR JULIA AND LET HER CUT THE ROPE WITH HER SCISSORS IT WOULD TAKE HER A WEEK TO CUT A HAWSER LIKE THAT SAID ELIZABETH WHO HAD BEEN INVESTIGATING IT WOULD BE MORE TO THE PURPOSE I THINK TO CHOP IT IN TWO WITH AN AXE
