A cutlass was suddenly a required accessory, and one could not stroll the Retail Embankment nor row down Marleybone High Causeway without hearing the squawk of parrots chattering on the shoulders of kerchiefed beaux. Games of chance and aquatic amusements such as the sea-lion rodeo were less and less in favour, replaced by sword fights, in which the men of the Station tested their mettle--though to come into combat with actual pirates would be the furthest thing from anyone's imagining. (Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters, p217)
