Tom, being a wondermus manchild, really doesn't fathom his limits and Jack's already seen example of his luck (overboard in the other storm). God love this baby tho', he has his Da's charm and love of adventure and his Mother's empathetic sweetness to carry him. I'm so tickled by how little kids will either decide aye or no to another. Partly, being the wee ones put them together, but the fact Anne thinks Tom hung the moon...well, **BIG old happy smile** told you already I'm an OHEP (original happy end piratista).
His description of adult activities of the noturnal kind was just perfect, the scandalous secret of the fact his parents kiss and wrestle bare--I laughed and laughed about that one!--it'd be hard for him to miss such at his house with his limited knowledge of boundaries and relatively young parents. Loved it, so glad to have them around!

Love Tom's enjoyment of storms and his "wrestling" comments, and Jack's assessment of the island natives, so CJS.
Your description of the ship's cabin felt like being there.
Here's to many chapters of this fine story. Drinks all around!

I feel rather sorry for Tom, but Jack is right. Adherence to the rules is crucial if you're going to have whelps aboard!

And ever so nice and nautically! It would seem that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree: Tom has inherited his father's malady of good intentions (well, perhaps a bit misguided but well-intended at heart) going unappreciated. Maybe Jack knows that the most torturous aspect of being disciplined is the waiting. Poor Tom!
Good stuff!!

Of course, who should know better than Jack? *g*
