Excerpt from Percival Keene, Vol. 2 of 3
He was mistaken; there was fun in me, but there was also prudence, and from what I had latterly seen of Tommy Dott, I did not think he was to be trusted.
The day after we anchored at Carlisle Bay, Tommy came to me and said, Old pepper serves out plums and suet this afternoon; I heard him tell the steward. Now, I think we may manage to get some - I never saw better plums on board of a ship.
