Luckily my brain can multitask.

Quotes:
I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first.

Pretty good story, fun adventure, though I enjoyed the sidekick a bit more than the main character - he was a little too whiney for my taste, but i guess that was how he was supposed to be. Still an entertaining plotline, especially for when it was written. Boy it would suck if your grandfather sold you to a pirate without you knowing!
