Our Terrance in response to Paul N. wrote:

"...but Mason prevents him from Reproducing and English Lady's language,
perhaps saving him from the sailors who might be excited by a Quaker in
a red coat of military cut, speaking  like an English lady.  Recall that
Zoyd Wheeler (in drag)  has a bit of trouble in the Log Jam. Also, as
Dave noted, while Dixon did sport a red coat, no Friend ever did, they
wore dull greys and dingy browns, and of course he has dropped the
Quaker forms of YOU.

A Fallen Friend? I hope he doesn't Whip the baby out with the filthy
bath water."

I believe Dixon was trying to fit in. Notice he was not comfortable with the
usage. And I get the impression that the sailors attention was not directed
to his coat but to the punch line, which brings me to...

Please...someone...at the risk of presenting my very best portrayal of a
very dim bulb...could someone tell me what the punch line was gonna be? What
was the English woman gonna say?

Is there a punch line? Or is he (Mr. P) just being a tease? Oh, c'mon, there
must've have been a punch line.

Any response, speculation, hint would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Judy
