Which part of this excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island best shows that the narrator was not pleased with the new look of the Admiral Benbow Inn?
The next morning he and I set out on foot for the Admiral Benbow, and there I found my mother in good health and spirits. The captain, who
had so long been a cause of so much discomfort, was gone where the wicked cease from troubling. The squire had had everything repaired, and
the public rooms and the sign repainted, and had added some furniture --above all a beautiful armchair for mother in the bar. He had found
her a boy as an apprentice also so that she should not want help while I was gone.
It was on seeing that boy that I understood, for the first time, my situation. I had thought up to that moment of the adventures before me, not at
all of the home that I was leaving; and now, at sight of this clumsy stranger, who was to stay here in my place beside my mother, I had my first
attack of tears. I am afraid I led that boy a dog's life, for as he was new to the work, I had a hundred opportunities of setting him right and
putting him down, and I was not slow to profit by them.
The night passed, and the next day, after dinner, Redruth and I were afoot again and on the road. I said good-bye to Mother and the cove where
I had lived since I was born, and the dear old Admiral Benbow-since he was repainted, no longer quite so dear. One of my last thoughts was of
the captain, who had so often strode along the beach with his cocked hat, his sabre-cut cheek, and his old brass telescope. Next moment we had
turned the corner and my home was out of sight.
