But beneath the pressed cuffs and polite bows lies something far more troublesome-a restless spirit with a peculiar fondness for mischief, adventure, and the quiet bending of rules. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome say notoriety is learned over time. If that is true, then John is only at the very beginning of his education. Yet already, there are signs-small, telling hints-that he possesses what might be called a piratophilic inclination: a natural fascination with the daring, the forbidden, and the thrill of slipping just beyond the reach of order.\u003cbr\u003eAnd still... he is not without conscience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor even as he tests the edges of discipline, Young Master John remains-at least in part-a gentleman. A boy who knows his prayers, attends his Sundays (with varying degrees of sincerity), and understands, somewhere deep within, the difference between right and wrong... even if he does not always choose it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not yet the story of a pirate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the story of how one begins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e B.
