The lonely monarch stood stark and stern in all its solitude, with one branch lifted like a skeleton arm pointing toward the north. "The pimento the treasure island!" exclaimed Jack with suppressed emotion.
As there was no fear of the glare of the fires shining through the forest, and thus betraying our position, we could venture to light a sufficient number for the protection of the camp against wild beasts. The next morning found us quietly settled in our new location. My father and mother did their best to comfort Senhor Pimento and his family for the loss of their property.
As delay may be dangerous, I have told Senhor Pimento that I purpose starting this evening; and I have urged him to have his own montarias ready, and manned by negroes in whom he can place confidence.

There is another tree, much larger, which I think resembles that which produces the jesuit bark.
While this was a-doing I stared up at the pimento tree, and bethinking me of Black Bartlemy and the poor Spanish lady and of my hateful dream, I felt sudden great shame, for here had I crushed my lady in arms as cruel well-nigh as his.
