Two Dunn Browns On Board A Palmyra Marauder
The Palmyra voyage unfolds a double in Dunn Brown and a separate Dunn Brown lookalike. A maze of theft, misidentification, and clever ruses pits Duke and Donne against pursers, detectives, and officers as they scheme to land stolen gold at Queenstown and Liverpool while authorities close in.
Not enough context for a headline
The quoted exchange shows a character saying he is too sick to manage money and cannot leave the funds where they are. Another character offers to take care of it, but the first character doubts the offer. A third party, Duke, is mentioned as having deposited gold, and Dunn reacts by glancing toward that location.
