And now I should wish to have a talk with that boy , please . '' And he nodded his head in my direction carelessly . George Merry was at the door , spitting and spluttering over some bad-tasted medicine ; but at the first word of the doctor 's proposal he swung round with a deep flush and cried `` No ! '' and swore . Silver struck the barrel with his open hand . `` Si-lence ! '' he roared and looked about him positively like a lion . `` Doctor , '' he went on in his usual tones , `` I was a-thinking of that , knowing as how you had a fancy for the boy . We 're all humbly grateful for your kindness , and as you see , puts faith in you and takes the drugs down like that much grog . And I take it I 've found a way as 'll suit all . Hawkins , will you give me your word of honour as a young gentleman -- for a young gentleman you are , although poor born -- your word of honour not to slip your cable ? '' I readily gave the pledge required . `` Then , doctor , '' said Silver , `` you just step outside o ' that stockade , and once you 're there I 'll bring the boy down on the inside , and I reckon you can yarn through the spars . Good day to you , sir , and all our dooties to the squire and Cap'n Smollett . '' The explosion of disapproval , which nothing but Silver 's black looks had restrained , broke out immediately the doctor had left the house . Silver was roundly accused of playing double -- of trying to make a separate peace for himself , of sacrificing the interests of his accomplices and victims , and , in one word , of the identical , exact thing that he was doing . It seemed to me so obvious , in this case , that I could not imagine how he was to turn their anger . But he was twice the man the rest were , and his last night 's victory had given him a huge preponderance on their minds . He called them all the fools and dolts you can imagine , said it was necessary I should talk to the doctor , fluttered the chart in their faces , asked them if they could afford to break the treaty the very day they were bound a-treasure-hunting . `` No , by thunder ! ''
