    Stede led the way into the tavern, which was as spick and span inside as out. An equally neat man emerged from a door to the right and bowed his head briefly. “Welcome, welcome! Sir Godfrey Thornrose, I presume?”

    Stede nodded in return. “Mister Budd, the landlord?”

    “Yessir, well met. And your business partner, Mister…?”

    “Jeff, the accountant,” Ed said, glancing at Stede.

    “Mister…” prompted Stede.

    “Teach?”

    “Mister Teach, the accountant. I thought you were merchant captains?” The landlord looked between them uncertainly.

    “I am in charge of the accounting,” said Ed. “Money and numbers and sh… shtuff. Trade deals and so on.”

    “And I do the actual captaincy,” said Stede with a reassuring smile. “I was knighted for my outstanding seamanship.”
