pirates! (like i have any idea what to title a prologue)

Margaret Lawton, Lady Cleystone, first went to sea at the age of seven, as a passenger on a merchant ship owned by a cousin. They were at sea only two weeks, but she ended the voyage in love with sailing. Women had been allowed to serve in the royal army and navy for the past two centuries, so when she was of age she enrolled in the Naval Academy and eventually received a commission in the navy.

( Margaret - now Captain Lawton - served king and country faithfully for three years. )
