And though Murenson took it all back at last, yet the Assembly was moved to make a new offer of three hundred dollars for killing or taking a Trelawney Maroon, and a hundred and fifty dollars for killing or taking any fugitive slave who had joined them.
Being much beloved in the district of his home, some one was inspired to write the quatrain: "And must Trelawney die, And shall Trelawney die? We've thirty thousand Cornish boys Will know the reason why!" This circulated rapidly through the Duchy, and reached London, where it is said to have procured the Cornishman's release.
A certain light has been thrown on the manner in which Shelley and his friend met their death in a letter which Mr. Eyre wrote to the Times in 1875. Trelawney had always believed that the Livorno sailors knew more than they cared to tell of that tragedy.
All over the county the peasants chanted a ballad of which the burden is still remembered: "And shall Trelawney die, and shall Trelawney die? Then thirty thousand Cornish boys will know the reason why." The miners from their caverns reechoed the song with a variation: "Then twenty thousand under ground will know the reason why."
Halloa! what have we here?" Mrs. Hudson had appeared with a lady's card upon her salver. Holmes glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and handed it over to me. "Ask Lady Hilda Trelawney Hope if she will be kind enough to step up," said he. A moment later our modest apartment, already so distinguished that morning, was further honoured by the entrance of the most lovely woman in London.
Or whether the free blacks, the Maroons, who got their freedom by treaty with Governor Trelawney, when the British commander changed hats with Cudjoe, the Maroon chief, as the sealing of the bargain whether they will rise again, as they before have risen, and bring terror into the white settlement; and whether, in that case, all negro-slaves will join them, and Jamaica become a land of revolution.
He and the squire were very thick and friendly, but I soon observed that things were not the same between Mr. Trelawney and the captain. This last was a sharp-looking man, who seemed angry with everything on board, and was soon to tell us why, for we had hardly got down into the cabin when a sailor followed us. "Captain Smollett, sir, axing to speak with you," said he.

Trelawney not told you of the buccaneers? He was one of them." "So?" cried Silver. "In my house! Ben, run and help Harry. One of those swabs, was he? Was that you drinking with him, Morgan? Step up here." The man whom he called Morgan an old, grey-haired, mahogany-faced sailor came forward pretty sheepishly, rolling his quid.
"Off you go," he said, "and mind you take great care of her, Bob." Admiral Tresize liked Bob very much, and always welcomed him to Penwennack. He remembered that he had Trelawney blood in his veins, and, although his father had been a Quaker doctor, he made no secret of the fact that he liked the boy, and he often spoke of him as a nice, quiet, clever lad.
