About this book

Black Bartlemy's Treasure is by Jeffery Farnol. In one scene the first-person speaker looks into a room and sees three men who scowled at each other across a table, scarred fellows with clothes that smacked of the sea, and a maid crouched in a corner. The first-person speaker clambers through the window with a levelled pistol in one hand and a heavy staff in the other.

A first-person speaker asks whose hand set this boat adrift, says it was Penfeather, and says he will stake his life that it was Adam. Godby roars out, asking who is for an honest life, a free pardon and a share in Black Bartlemy's Treasure, or shall it be a broadside.
