CHAPTER FOUR As Dark As His Tar Black Soul I pictured notorious pirates, maybe Blackbeard himself battling gallant king’s men. But the strange beach was so silent and so deserted that even the wind held its breath. Where the heck are we, Wonderland? I thought as panic wrapped its icy figures around my throat. Relax.

A social totality is not a concept born of mere delicate measure but of a grand scheme of aspects - of mixed languages and customs in a society or the social and economic class and the way those two intertwine.
