Question

Davey Jones was the sneakiest pirate that ever was, at least according to old Tom Brown. Why, that old man would sit on his stoop for hours and talk about legends of the old pirates. His eyes would twinkle while he talked of sword play, grand sea adventures, and gold. But it was always his stories of Davey Jones and his ships that excited him the most.
