~ Fool’s Chance ~
Elizabeth was disturbed to find that excessive rum did not make her more accepting of the fate that had been handed to them by Barbossa and his rotten crew.
Rotten!
She began to giggle.
“What? What’s so funny?” Jack demanded, his voice sharp, and no more slurred than it ever was.
She schooled her expression and looked down her nose at him. “Nothing whatever, Mr. Sparrow.”
He rolled his eyes, scowling, and muttered, “Captain! It’s Captain!” as he turned his gaze back to the uncaring sea again.
Useless!
Her brain, loosed from its moorings of restraint, began to drift, as in a strong gale, and, in a surprisingly short time, fetched up against a solution to their difficulties. Not only did this have a chance of succeeding, it would completely infuriate her stupidly resigned companion.
Captain Jack Sparrow, indeed! Wait until he observed the Machiavellian wit of Miss Elizabeth Swann.
