Favorite Characters 154/∞: “Long” John Silver (Treasure Island & Black Sails)I don’t want
Favorite Characters 154/∞: “Long” John Silver (Treasure Island & Black Sails)I don’t want to be a pirate. I’m not interested inthe life. Not interested in the fighting, not interested in the ships. I don’tcare much for the sea, while we’re on the subject. But being a pirate on thiscrew for a little while longer, it offers me an opportunity I don’t believe Ican find anywhere else on earth. One big prize. And with it, freedom. *************************************************Now, look you here, Jim Hawkins, you’re within half a plank of death, and, what’s a long sight worse, of torture. They’re going to throw me off. But, you mark, I stand by you through thick and thin. I didn’t mean to; no, not till you spoke up. I was about desperate to lust that much blunt, and be hanged into the bargain. But I see you was the right sort. I says to myself; You stand by Hawkins, John, and Hawkins’ll stand by you. You’re his last card, and, by the living thunder, John, he’s yours! Back to back, says I, You save your witness, and he’ll save your neck! -- source link
