Shay: So Liam, what can you tell me about Adéwalé? You obviously admire the man.

Liam: Aye. I had the honor of working with him once. I’ve never known anyone who’d done so much for our cause… but it’s much more than that.

Chevalier: Adéwalé was already a légende (legend) before joining the Brotherhood. He was a pirate – the scourge of the West Indies! – rubbing elbows with the likes of Blackbeard, Woodes Rogers and Calico Jack Rackham.

Shay: Calico who?

Chevalier: Oh, read a book, will you?

Shay: Where in the world has the most beautiful girls?

Liam: I suppose it depends on your vision of beauty. A damsel from Corfu and one from Oslo are as different as chalk and cheese but, both can be lovely.

Shay: You see, opinions like that give a man a reputation for wisdom.

Liam: Yeah, thank you.

Shay: I would have just said Havana. The girls there have lusty buttocks and bosoms and feel no shame in putting them on display! But that’s no slight against our lasses from home.

Liam: I suppose…

Shay: I think Galway has the nicest ones, fair and modest, always willing to spot you a penny for an ale.

Liam: You don’t say.

Shay: And then there’s the maids I met in Lisbon. Destined for the convent they were, dark-eyed and kindly-dispositioned. If only I spoke Portuguese… Not that we spent much of our nights talking.

Liam: Opinions like that give a man an entirely different reputation.
