Tales Of Terror From The Black Ship - Plot & Excerpts
Though George was the youngest of the family and still only fifteen, he felt it entirely reasonable to have expectations. But George had been a continual disappointment to his father. His two elder brothers seemed to have inherited his father’s bravery and bluff common sense, traits that George sadly did not seem to share in any measure. George’s interests lay elsewhere. He was obsessed with the natural world – particularly (because of his own nature) the smaller and humbler species of the animal kingdom – and he already had an extensive collection of invertebrates. He had trays full of beetles and cabinets of moths and butterflies, all pinned to boards with their names written down in George’s neat italic script. He had developed a special interest in snails and had boxes of their shells and page upon page of drawings he had made of the patterns they carried. Indeed his father had once jokingly suggested that George was more interested in ‘those damned snails’ than he was in his own family.
