Whereas the fog covered the landscape, a boat with on its board some
men accosted on the beach of Southampton.L' one of them which seemed
to be the chief, carried a cap who hid his face.Il expressed himself
as a François and ordered to his men to follow it to the village.He
entered then the Crazy Tavern, then ordered to drink for him
and its compagnons.An Englishman which had drunk hustled it too much, the cap of the man fell backwards, and at the same time, the thunder
thundered and a flash spouts out, letting appear the face of the
mysterious traveller. Certain customers moved back, while others left
their knife, amazed to see that which they had driven out a few months
before... Indeed, they did not dream;Belzébar had indeed returned to
Southampton.
The men of Belzébar left their swords in order to protect their
Master but this last beckoned to them to arrange their armes.Belzébar
was put vis-a-vis at English, which looked it with hatred and
contempt, and says to them then in very bad English these words:
"People of Southampton, did not fear, I did not return here to
dominate you again, I lengthily discussed with your Roy,
LongJohnSilver, like with Roy de France, Levan III.Ils clearly
prevented me that any French taking a english city would severely be
punished bus our two countries are currently combined, which I was
unaware of at the time of my catch of being able in your town;I am thus
returned to Southampton for me repentance and to make trade, but to in
no case, to cause you wrong."
English had listened to it well and arranged their knives, with
however a hatred and a mistrust that have it could easily read in
their glance...
