Of all the names, like Mary or Catherine, why *Tory?*

Re: 21stcherryboy January 30 2004, 20:01:50 UTC

Ok, I'm probably wrong but I'm going to question anyway. Back then, didn't "Tory" refer to a class of people? Like, those loyal to the king or something? I have no idea what era PotC was set in, so, again, I'm probably wrong.

Yeah, a 'Tory' was someone who was pro-Let's-keep-America-a-colony.

Someone want to enlighten me to why exactly they're laughing?

Elizabeth is laughing because it's Jack's baby and Will is too stupid to notice. Will is laughing because he's an idiot and has no idea why Elizabeth is laughing, and covers up his confusion by pretending he gets the joke.

Who wants me to sue the authors other story. It's one with Jack and Anamaria's daughter, and Will and Elizabeth's son, and if I remember correctly, Will takes up piracy once Jack leaves...

Ah, "Future Generations". I have that on reserve in my "Relatives That Don't Really Exist" folder.

You should do it. I've been dreading it.

Who on earth thinks that Tory is a good name for an 18th-century girl?! Victoria would be acceptable, although I'd consider it borderline unuseable for POTC. Tory is right out.

Fifteen year old blacksmith...

Oh, God.

I don't pretend to be well-versed in metallurgy but I believe that, like nearly every other trade in that time, blacksmith's apprentices began their apprenticeship when they were twelve to fourteen and continued it for quite a while, usually seven years, until they were skilled enough to work in their own forge. So, even if this girl had the ambition to be a blacksmith, and got herself an apprenticeship (which did sometimes happen for girls, but not very often), she wouldn't be a full-fledged blacksmith until she was 19-21 at least.

Plus, um, girls didn't go to school in those days. I don't think girls started attending schools until some time in the mid-1800s.
