Well, by the seastars and swordtails, them blasted yougins' took to laughin like a pack of sea devils. 'Peared, the proper pirate word "booty" had another meanin to these wee landlubbers. A course, bein a proper pirate, I learned these little shiprats the proper pirate meanin of the word. And set sail to continue with the book. If I'd weathered that little gale, well, by the barnacles and boatsman, the heavens were about to let loose somein' much worse. For no sooner had I started back into the book when I read to these wee devils ... let's see it weren't no proper English, all landlubbery, but I believe it were... "Governor Eden gave Blackbeard a pardon after Blackbeard agreed to share his booty with him." I set to sea on the next tide.
