`` Here it is , sir , '' said I , and gave him the oilskin packet . The doctor looked it all over , as if his fingers were itching to open it ; but instead of doing that , he put it quietly in the pocket of his coat . `` Squire , '' said he , `` when Dance has had his ale he must , of course , be off on his Majesty 's service ; but I mean to keep Jim Hawkins here to sleep at my house , and with your permission , I propose we should have up the cold pie and let him sup . '' `` As you will , Livesey , '' said the squire ; `` Hawkins has earned better than cold pie . '' So a big pigeon pie was brought in and put on a sidetable , and I made a hearty supper , for I was as hungry as a hawk , while Mr. Dance was further complimented and at last dismissed . `` And now , squire , '' said the doctor . `` And now , Livesey , '' said the squire in the same breath . `` One at a time , one at a time , '' laughed Dr. Livesey . `` You have heard of this Flint , I suppose ? '' `` Heard of him ! '' cried the squire . `` Heard of him , you say ! He was the bloodthirstiest buccaneer that sailed . Blackbeard was a child to Flint . The Spaniards were so prodigiously afraid of him that , I tell you , sir , I was sometimes proud he was an Englishman . I 've seen his top-sails with these eyes , off Trinidad , and the cowardly son of a rum-puncheon that I sailed with put back -- put back , sir , into Port of Spain . '' `` Well , I 've heard of him myself , in England , '' said the doctor . `` But the point is , had he money ? '' `` Money ! '' cried the squire .
