It helps to have friends in high places, my dears, so I present St. Julian the Hospitaller, patron saint of:
boatmen, carnival workers, childless people, circus workers, clowns, ferrymen, fiddlers, fiddle players, hospitality, hotel-keepers, innkeepers, jugglers, knights, murderers, pilgrims, shepherds, to obtain lodging while traveling, travelers, and wandering musicians
Some other friends in high places are watching the proceedings on Gus' behalf (or so we hope and beseech): St Anthony of Padua, who pretty much covers everything relevant to the saga of Gus, including amputees, fishermen, sailors, oppressed people, seekers of lost articles, and shipwrecks. And also St Jude, patron saint of lost causes. My thanks to snuggs and nikola for suggesting the above saints.
It seems we're well covered by our saintly patrons. There are some other, rather more robust saints whose patronage covers various kinds of beer, wine, and other bibulous spirits; we shall hold them in reserve (the saints, that is: tipples we have and plenty).
Not that we're excessively churchy ladies at this establishment, but every little bit helps in a storm. And in honor of steadfast Gus' rather successful testimony in the witness stand today, we shall again pour two-for-one well drinks, and seven-for-one not-so-well drinks (pirates only, on the latter, lubbers can't hold their liquor).
The regularly scheduled LEC&TS meeting will be held as per usual in the Ladies' Snuggery, which is now graced by the portrait of the mighty Flarq. Drool buckets provided.
I am thinking of starting a Gentlemens' Card Club in the Club Room, which has a separate entrance to the street. If there sufficient interest, we can arrange to serve beverages and a selection of hot and cold victuals via the serving hatch, thus making it a "no gurlz allowed" sort of gathering. Applications may be made to the Management.

Does a guy got to be a gentlemen to join the gentleman's club? I ask because sometimes it says "gentlemen" on the doors to the WC and they still let most all blokes in. If all blokes are allowed, I'd like to apply as I'd like to learn card games and make new friends and drink good drinks.
Sincerely,
Rosco Hatten
P.S. The marked deck conviction from that casino on Grand Bahama was a different Rosco Hattn.
Of course that's another Roscoe Hattn, the spelling is quite different. All and sundry gentlemen of the male persuasion may be admitted to the Gentlemen's Club Room. The only requirement thus far would seem to be that members have members. Thank you so much for your kind patronage, sir.
