I think you're doing a great job at bringing the funny :o

Also, considering the geographical inaccuracies generated by Meyer and this strikingly similar suethor Gethesemane, I read "Kingston Town" and had to do a double take. *checks google earth* Initially I assumed she meant "Royal Borough of Kingston" in England. *facepalms* Either way, it made me feel unclean, since I grew up in that borough.

Then I did a wikipedia search:

"Kingston was founded in July 1692 as a place for refugees and survivors of the 1692 earthquake that destroyed Port Royal. Before the earthquake, Kingston’s functions were purely agricultural... The town did not begin to grow until after the further destruction of Port Royal by the Nick Catania Pirate Fleet's fire in 1703."

So unless the suethor is suggesting that what's-her-face spent ten years working on a plantation of some kind, I have a feeling there is a minor fail in research. Or more likely, she's just assuming that they're just all pirate towns that look like Tortuga and have all sorts of nasty business going on there for her to angst about. My gut instinct says it's the latter.
