оказывается, мастера телевизионного маркетинга запустили новые сериал, “Black Sails”, очень забавный, — и для взрослой аудитории, казалось бы, но о пиратах. зато и Флинт тебе, спасибо, и Билли Бонс, и Джон Сильвер, добро пожаловать. вот только говорят они, что ученики воскресной школы, а ведут себя и того чище. но мы-то выросли на других книгах?
They was ashore nigh on a week, and us standing off and on in the old WALRUS[1]. One fine day up went the signal, and here come Flint by himself in a little boat, and his head done up in a blue scarf. The sun was getting up, and mortal white he looked about the cutwater. But, there he was, you mind, and the six all dead—dead and buried. How he done it, not a man aboard us could make out. It was battle, murder, and sudden death, leastways—him against six. Billy Bones was the mate; Long John, he was quartermaster; and they asked him where the treasure was. ‘Ah,’ says he, ‘you can go ashore, if you like, and stay,’ he says; ‘but as for the ship, she’ll beat up for more, by thunder!’ That’s what he said.
<...>
Ah, he was the man to have a headpiece, was Flint! Barring rum, his match were never seen. He were afraid of none, not he; on’y Silver—Silver was that genteel.

shiver my timbers!
[T]he old WALRUS, Flint’s old ship, as I’ve seen amuck with the red blood and fit to sink with gold.
