Matilda is dejected. She is going to miss the sea trip because Jim has caught some illness. And the way the pirates treat illness is… let’s say it’s “colourful”. Ground cod viscera, fermented jellyfish… and when nothing works, all that is left is to replace one’s leg with a wooden leg! Matilda quickly steps in: how about Jim sees a doctor before it comes to that? “A DOCTOR??” The Jolley-Rogers are horrified: no pirates has ever let one of those charlatans treat them! How is Matilda going to convince Jim that vitamins are so much better (and simpler) than having you leg cut?
