TREASURE ISLAND 041 – XXXIIThe Treasure-hunt—The Voice Among the Trees – 005

I never was feared of Flint in his life, and, by the powers, I’ll face him dead.
There’s seven hundred thousand pound not a quarter of a mile from here.
When did ever a gentleman o’ fortune show his stern to that much dollars for a boozy old seaman with a blue mug—and him dead too?”

But there was no sign of reawakening courage in his followers, rather, indeed, of growing terror at the irreverence of his words.

“Belay there, John!” said Merry.
“Don’t you cross a sperrit.”

And the rest were all too terrified to reply.
They would have run away severally had they dared; but fear kept them together, and kept them close by John, as if his daring helped them.
He, on his part, had pretty well fought his weakness down.

“Sperrit? Well, maybe,” he said.
