1. The person who said this quote was Jesse's mom. She had run out of candles and needed more to keep working in the night. So Jesse had to go to Aunt Agatha and borrow some.
2. Aunt Agatha said this quote when she noticed Jesse's pipe. He was at her house to get the candles for his mother so she could work.
3. Purvis was the one who said this. He told his crewmate, Claudius, to take Jesse's pipe away from him. I suspect he was the one that Jessie had played for.
4. I have delivered pizza at my old school a few times. Or course, after the errand, I get pizza as well.
5. Jessie feels miserable for being on a slaver. I think it's because of how depressing the ship can be, though personally I think the name of the ship is pretty impressive. He would also be scared because the people on the ship are kind of like pirates.
6. Curry is kind of like a cook and Purvis was a sailor, for he knew all about sails.
7. The British have different laws and they want the neighboring country to follow them in blocking slavery. However, if they try to invade, the laws in the neighboring country are different from the British country, so that gives the Moonlight the right to 'OOF' them.
8. The ship must be tend to at all times, even at night. Sailors are always busy unless they've just come off watch. Everyone on the ship has a job to do.
9. The odour comes from the deck and it never seems to come out. It is called 'the chloride of lime'.
10. Purvis made a joke by saying 'You're as deaf as a post'. I don't see how that is funny.
