Summary
For all its faults, however, what Thomas found most objectionable about the pamphlet was its premise. After all, the difference between a pirate and a merchant sailor—as he had once fruitlessly tried to explain to James, almost exactly ten years earlier in London—was not a difference in kind.
Sometime in the spring of 1715, Thomas gets hold of a pamphlet about a pirate named Captain Flint.

Summary
Abigail, hearing the sack of Charles Town, refuses to travel on to Savannah and turns back in the hopes of saving her father. What she finds instead is proof she needn't have bothered. Thomas, newly liberated after 10 years of incarceration, is no longer the man he used to be and not quite sure who he's become instead. Both of them have begun to develop some new ideas about political philosophy. They decide to try putting them into practice, and help the pirates of Nassau resist English rule for a little while longer. They also get talking to Mr. Scott.
Kind of a slow burn.

Summary
Flint stops dead. It's not that he really expected Vane to bunk with the crew, but –
Vane doesn't open his eyes. "I know you're there. Might as well come in."
"That's generous of you," Flint says. "Seeing as it's my cabin, I wouldn't have thought I needed an invitation."
"Shows what you know." Vane smiles, still with his eyes shut. "Bring the rum."

Summary
There must have been another way; of course there were other ways. But there had been the bearskin. And there had been a venomous, humiliated anger in Stephen. And so there had been three hundred miles of punishment.

Summary
"Well, now I must know what you have hidden under there," Diana decided, hoping for some sort of ghastly nautical tattoo. She used her physical advantage to shove his shirt up before he could move to stop her, and abruptly she understood.
-
The first night of Diana's second marriage was in some ways not exactly traditional.
