The narrator for this chapter is SO SO DRY. Like, you can’t have Nigel Williams’ voice be transporting me to the Spouter Inn in Chapter 3, and then have this Caleb dude’s voice succeed in lullabying me to sleep for the THIRD time in Chapter 4. 🙄😒

How many times has this very thing happened to me! It is terrifying!

I would disagree with Ishmael here.  Queequeg's figure seems hardly indecorous.

The best and most conscientious of stepmothers...Wonderful
