He does what we ask or he dies.’ Cephas Danvers imparted this with conviction, a feeling shared by the other two judging by their vigorous nods, which got a snorted response from Peabody. ‘Simple as kiss my hand, eh?’ ‘Can’t see what can go wrong,’ opined Dan Holder. ‘Well, if you don’t reckon that flawed there’s nowt for you but the rope. We is goin’ to get to the entry port with a knife showing, a bluecoat with shit in his smalls and the watch officers is just goin’ to wave us by.’ ‘Knife would be hidden,’ Holder protested. ‘So, Pearce says to the watch officer that he’s facing bein’ sliced and what happens then with a set of marines hard by?’ That produced no immediate response so Peabody carried on, his tone now full of ridicule. ‘The swine dies and we swing, is that the plan?’ None would catch his eye now, their heads were down and the eyes were examining the rough wood of their board.
