the doctor was lucky to be walking in the cool shadows of the wood
After dinner,the squire and the doctor sat by the captain's side and
want talked.Then,a little past noon,the doctor took his hat,his pistols and a sword,put the map in his pocket,and walked off quickly through the trees.
I guessed he was going to see Ben Gunn,and thought the doctor was lucky to be walking in the cool shadows of the wood.The house was hot and smelt of blood,and there were dead bodies lying all around.Suddenly,I wanted to get away from that place----and I had an idea!I would go and look for Ben Gunn's boat!Perhaps we would need it some time.That was my excuse to myself,although I knew it was wrong of me to leave only two unwounded men to guard the stockade.It was also wrong of me to leave secretly,but that is what I did.
I filled my pockets with bread,then took two pistols and the powder for them.When Gray and Mr Trelawney were helping the captain,I climbed quickly out of the stockade and ran into the trees.
