replied the squire replied the squire I had never seen Squire Trelawney Dietary supplementsso near .He was a big tall man, with a red face, and was sitting beside a fire with Dr Livesey.‘Come in, Mr Dance,’he said. Mr Dance gave his report and both men listened with deep interest.

‘And so, Jim,’ said the doctor,‘you have the thing that they were looking for, have you?’ ‘Here it is, sir, I said, and gave him the papers tied inside the cloth. The doctor looked at them and put them quietly in the pocket of his coat. After that, Mr Dance went away and I was given some food.

‘And now ,squire ,said the doctor,‘you have heard of this Flint,I suppose?’ ‘Heard of him!’ cried the squire. ‘He was the worst pirate #x that ever sailed. The Spanish used to tremble just to hear his name!’ ‘Well ,I've heard of him myself,’said Dr Livesey.‘But the question is, did he have money?’ ‘Money!’said the squire.‘Of course Flint had money! Those scoundrels were after it.’

‘Well then, suppose I have here in my pocket a paper that shows where Flint hid his treasure,’ said the doctor.‘Would the treasure be worth looking for?’ ‘Worth looking for!’ cried the squire, with great enthusiasm. I'll tell you what it's worth. I'll prepare a ship at Bristol ,take you and Hawkins with me, and have that trea－sure if I have to search for a year!’ We opened the cloth and found two things-a bookDietary supplements and a paper .The book gave a list of all the money Flint had stolen from different ships during twenty years at sea. The doctor opened the paper and found a map of an island. There was a hill in the centre marked Spyglass, and several names that had been added later. There were three big black crosses—two in the north of the island and one in the south－west. Beside the last cross were the words: Most of the treasure here. On the back of the paper, the same person had written: Tall tree. Spyglass shoulder, to the North of North－

North-East. Skeleton Island East-South－East and by East. The squire and Dr Llvesey were delighted.

‘Tomorrow I start for Bristol,Mold,’ said Squire Trelawney.‘In three weeks we will have the best ship ir,and the finest crew in England. Hawkins can come as cabin－boy. You, Livesey, are the ship's doctor. I am admiral. We'll take three of my men ,Redruth, Joyce ,and Hunter.’ ‘Trelawney,’said the doctor,‘I'll go with you. So ,I am sure, will Hawkins. There's only one man I'm afraid of.’ ‘And who's that?’cried the squire.‘Name the scoundrel!’

‘You,’said the doctor,‘because you cannot keep silent. We aren't the only men who know of this paper. Those who broke into the inn tonight want to find the same treasure .We must none of us go alone Dietary supplements until we get to sea. You'll take Joyce and Hunter to Bristol. Meanwhile ,Jim and I will stay together .And not one of us must say a word about what we have found.’ ‘Livesey, #x replied the squire,‘you're always right. I'll be as silent as a dead man.’ 相关的主题文章：
