How I adore this!

I think it was this passage that made me first fall in love with POBs work. I'd liked M&C up to here when I read it, and been interested in Jack and Stephen and impressed with how well they had been written, but it was this - the snarkiness, the wit, the whole concept of a snake in the great cabin at all and Stephen being so utterly unconcerned about it... And Jack the Great Naval Hero with his amazing luck and his glorious hair - on a chair quaking like a little boy, this is what made me realise it was genius and that this truly was more than a mere boys-own adventure.

Adorable. Just adorable...
