`` Possibly , sir , you may not like your employer , either ? '' says the squire . But here Dr. Livesey cut in . `` Stay a bit , '' said he , `` stay a bit . No use of such questions as that but to produce ill feeling . The captain has said too much or he has said too little , and I 'm bound to say that I require an explanation of his words . You do n't , you say , like this cruise . Now , why ? '' `` I was engaged , sir , on what we call sealed orders , to sail this ship for that gentleman where he should bid me , '' said the captain . `` So far so good . But now I find that every man before the mast knows more than I do . I do n't call that fair , now , do you ? '' `` No , '' said Dr. Livesey , `` I do n't . '' `` Next , '' said the captain , `` I learn we are going after treasure -- hear it from my own hands , mind you . Now , treasure is ticklish work ; I do n't like treasure voyages on any account , and I do n't like them , above all , when they are secret and when -LRB- begging your pardon , Mr. Trelawney -RRB- the secret has been told to the parrot . '' `` Silver 's parrot ? '' asked the squire . `` It 's a way of speaking , '' said the captain . `` Blabbed , I mean . It 's my belief neither of you gentlemen know what you are about , but I 'll tell you my way of it -- life or death , and a close run . ''
`` That is all clear , and , I dare say , true enough , '' replied Dr. XXXXX .
