Tales of a Traveller Section 36 - Wolfert Webber; or, Golden Dreams, Part Three

In which an enigmatic and imperious mariner, newly arrived with an air of authority and exotic wealth, takes dominion over an established inn and captivates—or intimidates—its accustomed patrons with his vivid tales of piracy and seaborne adventures. The local company, drawn to and yet fearful of this strange visitor, finds themselves mesmerised by stories of buried treasure and buccaneer exploits that imbue the quiet setting with a restless, thrilling air.
