Book excerpt: Throughout the play Prince Rupert had sat quietly at the Governor's righthand, puffing at a long pipe of tobacco, observing with his keen eyes all thathappened, and answering courteously enough when spoken to. The menaround him were the rudest this world contained; esteeming themselves theequals of any, and the superiors of most. But there was a natural dignity whichhedged his Highness in, over which even they did not dare to trespass; and so,by way perhaps of a sly revenge, they contented themselves by gibing now andagain at his easily-blushing secretary. It was not till the play had ended, and theGovernor sat back with a sigh of contentment in his great carved chair ofSpanish mahogany, that the Prince saw fit to make the proposal by which heregained his liberty."Monsieur," he said, "I have some small skill at the dice myself. Now thatyour other opponents have ceased to contend, will you humour me by throwingjust three mains?"The Governor turned on him with a vinous eye. "Your Highness has seen theway we play here in Tortuga? It must be for ready money jangled down on theboard.""Money, as you know, Monsieur, I have none, else had I not been here, butaway with mine own ships as their admiral, earning money for the King. But Ihave a gaud or two left. Here is a thumb ring set with a comely Hindu diamondstone,which already you have done me the honour to covet. I will wager youthat, against a small canoe and permission for myself and Master Laughan hereto use it.""You want to leave me!" said the Governor, frowning."I wish to go across to Hispaniola to see for myself these buccaneers of meatat their work, and afterwards to take up such adventures as befall.""Your Highness will find but vile entertainment amongst those savagefellows."The Prince glanced over the littered banquet chamber. "I was sitting here tenhours ago: I am sitting here now. Let that suffice to show I am not alwaysfastidious.""The fellows did feed like swine, and that is a fact," said the Governor; "but ifyour Highness had drunk cup for cup with them, instead of keeping a dry throat,you'd have felt it less. As for Master Laughan, I do not believe he has wet hislips once since we have sat here. He snapped at the ladies and he shudderedat the men. 'Tis my belief that if Master Laughan were stripped he'd prove to bea wench.""Monsieur," said the Prince wrathfully, "any insult thrown at Master Laughanwill be answered by myself. For his manhood I can vouch. In action he hastwice saved my poor life. If it please you to take your sword, I will stand upbefore you now in this room.""Pah!" said the Governor. "I do not take offence at that. I will not fight.""You will not fight, you will not game! You own but indifferent manhood!""Game!" cried the Governor. "I will throw you for that thumb ring if you wishto lose it.""Be it so," said Rupert, and quickly stretching out his hand gathered up theGovernor's dice and their box.Monsieur D'Ogeron reached out his fingers angrily. "Your Highness," hesaid, "give back those tools. They are mine, and I am used to them, and I playwith no other."

Book excerpt: Besides, if the Governor chose to pocket the affronts and go on sipping hissangoree, it was the Governor's affair. So the Prince said that he was ready tobuy back the liberty of those officers who had served his late majesty KingCharles in the wars, and was prepared to remain in Tortuga harbour with histhree ships till these were brought in."Well and good," said D'Ogeron. "But I must warn your Highness that priceswill rule high. When your very excellent friends were sold here, newly out of theship, being raw with wounds, and galled with their shackles, and damaged withscurvy, they went cheap. But since then they have been in training as hunters,and porters of meat, and makers of bucan, and dressers of hide, and so theyhave acquired value as handicraftsmen. Moreover, when ransom is spoken of, itis always our custom to acquire new interest in a prisoner. You take me?""I do. Had I one tenth of your commercial power, Monsieur, the King, mymaster, for whom I came out here to glean the seas, could keep a richer court atthe Hague."The Governor leaned across the table and stared. "Do I hear you say youare working for Charles II.?""Certainly. I am his servant since his late Majesty's murder. His kingdom forthe nonce is unhappily in the hands of others, and with it the natural revenues.A king must have a court; a court needs money; I sail the seas to win thatmoney: the thing is simple."Monsieur D'Ogeron hit the table. "The thing is unheard of," he cried. "Loyaltyis a home-growth which does not bear transporting across the seas. In France,in the old days, I was the king's man-I forget what king's. I left France full ofthat loyalty, and for a while it lasted. But when my ship ran into the trade winds,it began to ooze from me, and when I got set down here, in these islands of theCaribbean, there was but a dim memory of that loyalty left. France is so many aweary league away, that the King's shadow cannot reach across the seas. For awhile I missed it; for a while there was a blank in my life. And then I foundanother master: a master whom I could always admire and strive for; a masterwhose every action interested me, whose every woe was mine; and him I haveserved this many years with infinite zest and appetite. Never had man a masterhe wished to serve so well.""May I hear his name?" the Prince asked.The Governor turned to a silver mirror which hung against the wall, and liftedhis goblet."I drink to him," he said, "with all heartiness. His name is Camille BaptisteD'Ogeron, patron of the buccaneers.""And skimmer of their gains?""Skimmer of their gains, most certainly, mon prince, or why Governor ofTortuga? What am I else but a king? I have no hollow pomp about my court, it istrue, but I could have it if I chose to pay. I could have drums beat in my pathwhen I went abroad, and powder burned upon my saint's day. I could havecourtiers in silken robes and golden chains, and a palace with forty roomsinstead of four. But I take only what suits my whim. My visitors come in tarrybreeks or the bloodied shirts of cow-hunters. My attendants can make a roast,or brew a bowl, or slit a throat with equal glibness. My enemies, when they call,leave behind them their heads on the spikes above the gateway. And I havealso the delicate joys of domesticity. Though I have been widowed these ninetimes, I married a new wife brought in by one of the ships only the other day,and already she adores me."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer: His Adventures There is one outlandish fellow who might be 8. Scot, or a Yorkshireman, or a Russian, or some thing like that. But no man could speak his lingo, and none would bid for him at the sale. You may have him as a present if you care, and if perchance he can be found anywhere alive on the island. No, your Highness, this consignment is all English; drafted from foot, horse, and guns and a rarely sought-after lot they would have been, if whole. From accounts, they must have been all tried fighting men, and many had the advantage of being under your own distinguished command - Your Highness, I beseech you shirk not the cordial. This climate creates a pleasing thirst, which we ought to be thankful for. The jack stands at your elbow. Prince Rupert looked out over the harbour, and the black ships, at the blue waters of the Carib sea beyond. My poor fellows, he said.
