Closing Passage

From Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
The novel ends on a haunted note: treasure has been won but Jim refuses to return to the island, and the cry of Flint's parrot still echoes in his nightmares.
Chapter 34

Jim's final declaration that 'oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island,' and the chilling last image of Captain Flint shrieking 'Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!' in his dreams.
