"Squire Trelawney, Dr Livesey,
and the rest of these gentlemen
:32:05
having asked me to write down the
whole particulars about Treasure Island
:32:14
from the beginning to the end, keeping
nothing back but the bearings of the island,
:32:18
and only because there is
still treasure not yet lifted,
:32:22
I take up my pen in the year of grace 1785,
:32:32
and go back to the time when
my father kept the 'Admiral Benbow' inn."
:32:39
All the noble books which have
lived in my mind ever since,
:32:44
and always I hoped, and kept my faith.

For the first months
my mother was still upstairs,h

and we could talk to each other with tappings.
