in his escape, never to diddle with Lewrie's life again?
Will Captain Charlton ever realise Lewrie humbugged him and sent his piratical enterprise down the 'tubes'? Will he face ruin, and take Lewrie down with him, for spite?
HMS Jester has less than eight months left of her commission, a date that usually requires a long, expensive rebuild in a proper shipyard- and a temporary decommissioning, right? Alan Lewrie could be on his way home, quickly; or might he be at Lisbon in February of the new year, there's a little scrap called the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, or Nelson's 'do' at Teneriffe? Or at home, just in time for a little more hair-raising adventure, such as…?
No, that'd be telling. Whatever happens, I think we all know by now that Alan Lewrie, R.N., will end playing it fast and loose, trimmed damn close to the winds, as usual, no matter where. On the ragged edge- again.
