The Gentleman, Chapter 66: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. The privateer comes into view, breaking the boy’s sense of spiritual peace and leaving him frightened in the water.
2. The moon disappears, and the cold boy feels abandoned, with the flag hanging heavily around his neck.
3. An amusing thought about requesting coffee and the example of old Piper help him return to his task.
4. He watches the motionless privateer and feels relieved when he recognizes the sound of someone snoring.
5. Swimming beneath the stern, he briefly fears the Gentleman has arrived, then recognizes the vessel alongside as the Kite.
