Time enough, too, says you.
Aye, but I've lived easy in the meantime, never denied myself a nothin' heart desires, and slept soft, and ate dainty all my days, but went at sea.
And how did I begin?
Before the mast, like you
Why, where might you suppose it was?
It were, said the cook.
It were when we weighed anchor, but my old missus has it all by now, and the spy glasses sold, lease and goodwill and rigging, and the old girl's off to meet me.
I would tell you where, for I trust you, but it make jealousy among the mates.
Gentlemen of fortune, returned the cook, usually trust little among themselves, and right they are, you may lay to that.
But I have a way with me I have.
When a mate brings a slip on his cable, one as knows me, I mean, it won't be the same world with old John.
There was some that was feared of Pew, and some that was feared of Flint.
But Flint, his own self, was feared of me.
Feared he was, and proud.
They was the roughest crew afloat, was Flint's.
The devil himself would have feared to go to sea with them.
Well now, I tell you, I'm not a boasting man, and you've seen yourself how easy I keep company.
But when I was quartermaster, lamb's wasn't the word for Flint's old buccaneers.
Aye, you may be sure o' yourself in old John's ship.
And a finer figurehead for a gentleman of fortune I never clap my eyes on.
