The daughters of the character feel free to express their frustrations openly, calling out to their father with cries like "Oh Papa, Papa, do come on, Papa." Their impatience reflects a lack of quietness and meekness, as they accuse him of being slow and unyielding. Their language is somewhat influenced by the seamen in the household, revealing a blend of innocence and the roughness of their upbringing.

Despite the attempts of Sophie, one of the daughters, to moderate their language, the girls still exhibit a spirited nature. Phrases like "infernal swab" and "short-arsed cullion" might be less frequent, yet they demonstrate the girls' strong personalities and the lasting impact of their environment on their expressions. This dynamic shows how free speech and character can thrive even in familial settings.
