“As I was waiting, a man came out of a side room, and at a glance I was sure he must be Long John. His left leg was cut off close by the hip, and under the left shoulder he carried a crutch, which he managed with wonderful dexterity, hopping about upon it like a bird. He was very tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham—plain and pale, but intelligent and smiling. Indeed, he seemed in the most cheerful spirits, whistling as he moved about among the tables, with a merry word or a slap on the shoulder for the more favoured of his guests.”

“Per uno come me, che viene chiamato nemico dell'umanità dal re e dal parlamento, o terrorista dai papisti, non è possibile invertire la rotta. Ci sono solo due vie, per chi vuole vivere da essere umano con qualche senso finché non muore. Una è mantenere la rotta. L'altra è farsi impiccare. Altri vie non esistono a meno che non ci si voglia nascondere per il resto dei propri giorni, costantemente preoccupati per la propria pelle, senza osare fidarsi di nessuno. L'amnistia, dirai tu. Ci sono i pirati che hanno approfittato dell'amnistia. Certo, dico io, ma che genere di vita hanno fatto poi? Sua Maestà può anche concedere l'amnistia e la grazia, è vero, ma lo fa la gente comune? E quelli che hanno i soldi?”
