Treasure Island Chapter 2

I read chapter two of Treasure Island yesterday, and it also seemed interesting. Not long after the doctor and the captain fought, a series of strange events occurred. They finally rid them of the captain. The main character's father had to take care of the inn themselves, because his father was sick. it was one bitter January morning. The captain had awoken earlier than usual and set out down the beach. The main character remembers his breath hanging like smoke as he walked off, and the last sound he heard of him was a loud snort of indignation. His mother was upstairs with his father , and he was laying the breakfast table, when a man stepped in whom he'd never seen before. He was pale and tallowy, and was missing two fingers on his left hand. He wore a cutlass like the captain, though eh did not look much like a fighter. This man didn't seem like a sailor, and yet he had something about the sea in him too. He asked him what he would like, and he said he would take rum. Then, as he was getting it, he sat down and motioned him to come closer. He asked him if he new a companion of his named Bill (which turned out to be the captain), and he answered no. He said that Bill would be known as the captain. He tells him about the features of Bill, such as a cut on the right cheek. He then asks if Bill is in the house. the main character told him he was out walking. He pointed out the rock he had gone to and how the captain was likely to return. The stranger kept hanging around the inn door, peering around the corner like a cat waiting for a mouse. The main character once stepped out, but the stranger ordered him right back in, and, as he did not obey quickly enough, he ordered him with an oath that made him jump. All the time they were waiting at the door for Bill, the stranger kept swallowing what the main character's family used to call a lump in the throat. At last the captain came in and slammed the door behind him. The stranger called his name, and the captain spun around and faced them. He looked like he had seen a ghost. The stranger was revealed to be someone code named Black Dog. He and Bill talked for a while, And then there was a rapid explosion of oaths and other noises, and then the table and chair fell over and there were sudden cries of pain. Black Dog was running with the captain. The captain suddenly asked for rum after Black Dog disappeared over the hill. The doctor suddenly came and asked Jim (the main character) to get him a basin. he took some blood out of the captain (because that was how they thought people healed back then). The doctor once again warned him of death if he kept drinking rum. He then carried him off to his bed and suggested he stay there for a week, but warned that another stroke would settle him.
