The Apology

My most humble apologies to all of my most faithful Readers, as for the past several months I have been somewhat...indisposed, due to the machinations of several of my creditors, and have not had access to paper, pen, ink, or indeed much of anything save straw, a pallet, and a pair of shackles. My current domicile is a charming island off the coast of France. Well, I say charming, and undoubtedly it would be, but the man in the chamber next to me, a priest of some sort I gather, has gone rather mad, and raves daily about some treasure hidden on a distant isle. At first I was intrigued, but it tires one very quickly. Still, with luck I shall be at liberty to complete my memoirs, and I hope the next entry shall be made available to You very soon.
