stooped but not stupid, sir,
there seems to be some problem with
bumping into each other below decks
in narrow hallways during stormy weather
A tall thin elegant gentleman with a cane

This conjures to mind gentlemen in bright white suits walking elegantly on cruise ships.
But does he have a map tatooed on his back?
