sing his song sing his song The captain stayed week Construction Equipmentafter week, month after month. His gold coins were soon used up, but my father was a sick man and afraid to ask for more.

Dr Livesey came late one afternoon. After he had seen my father ,he had dinner with my mother, then stayed to smoke his pipe .I noticed the difference between the doctor with his white hair and pleasant way#x of speaking, and that dirty,Ray Ban, heavy, red－faced seaman, drunk with rum.

The captain began to sing his song:

Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-

Yo－ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Drink and the devil had killed off the rest-

Yo－ho－ho and a bottle of, rum!

Dr Livesey did not like the song.He looked up angrily before Construction Equipmenthe went on talking to old Taylor, the gardener. Others in the room took no notice of the song. The captain beat the table with his hand for silence. The voices in the room died away, all except Dr Livesey's．The doctor continued to speak.

The captain swore softly, then said,‘ Silence!’

‘Are you speaking to me ,sir?’asked the doctor.

‘Yes,’the captain told him, swearing again.

‘I have only one thing to say to you, sir,’ replied the doctor.‘If you keep on drinking rum ,the world will soon be free of a dirty scoundrel!’

The captain jumped to his feet with a knife in his hand ,but the doctor never moved .He spoke to the captain in a calm and clear voice so that others in the room could hear:

‘If you don't put that knife away, I promise you shall die a criminal's death under the law.’

Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the cap－tain Construction Equipmentsoon put away his weapon and sat down like a beaten dog. Soon after Dr Livesey rode away3x on his horse. The captain was silent for the rest of the evening, and for many evenings after－wards. 相关的主题文章：
