"LADS IN BLUE"
"Fairiel, has anyone ever asked you why sailors' uniforms aTO blue? Some people say it's because of.the colour of the ocean, but I can give you the right reason. In 1745, a Duchess of Bedford had a'blue and'white riding habit, and the King admired it so much that he chose blue and white for the first naval uniforms. Don't you think that's plausible, Fairiel? I do." "MISTY WINGS" (12). City.
