There was no doubt as to the validity of the transfer, for the deed was duly registered au greffe, and it said: "In consideration of one livre turnois," etc. Possibly it was a libel against the departed jurat that he and Mattingley had had dealings unrecognised by customs law, crystallising at last into this legacy to the famous pirate-smuggler.
"Yes, sir." "You gave her my message?" "Yes, sir." "And you are quite sure Lord Crabs was not there when you gave either the message or the note?" "Not there upon my honor," says I.
