He was a tall man , over six feet high , and broad in proportion , and he had a bluff , rough-and-ready face , all roughened and reddened and lined in his long travels . His eyebrows were very black , and moved readily , and this gave him a look of some temper , not bad , you would say , but quick and high . `` Come in , Mr. Dance , '' says he , very stately and condescending . `` Good evening , Dance , '' says the doctor with a nod . `` And good evening to you , friend Jim . What good wind brings you here ? '' The supervisor stood up straight and stiff and told his story like a lesson ; and you should have seen how the two gentlemen leaned forward and looked at each other , and forgot to smoke in their surprise and interest . When they heard how my mother went back to the inn , Dr. Livesey fairly slapped his thigh , and the squire cried `` Bravo ! '' and broke his long pipe against the grate . Long before it was done , Mr. Trelawney -LRB- that , you will remember , was the squire 's name -RRB- had got up from his seat and was striding about the room , and the doctor , as if to hear the better , had taken off his powdered wig and sat there looking very strange indeed with his own close-cropped black poll . At last Mr. Dance finished the story . `` Mr. Dance , '' said the squire , `` you are a very noble fellow . And as for riding down that black , atrocious miscreant , I regard it as an act of virtue , sir , like stamping on a cockroach . This lad Hawkins is a trump , I perceive . Hawkins , will you ring that bell ? Mr. Dance must have some ale . '' `` And so , Jim , '' said the doctor , `` you have the thing that they were after , have you ? '' `` Here it is , sir , '' said I , and gave him the oilskin packet . The doctor looked it all over , as if his fingers were itching to open it ; but instead of doing that , he put it quietly in the pocket of his coat . `` Squire , '' said he , `` when Dance has had his ale he must , of course , be off on his Majesty 's service ; but I mean to keep Jim Hawkins here to sleep at my house , and with your permission , I propose we should have up the cold pie and let him sup . ''
`` As you will , XXXXX , '' said the squire ; `` Hawkins has earned better than cold pie . ''
