Adventures of Sandokan and Marianne

He had a handsomeness that spoke about his character
Yanez was instantly drawn in, by his nobility and his strength
He had integrity even if he did not understand the evil of Brooke
His teacher Macassar had prepared him for everything but this

Governor Brooke figured out this curious man was coming
Wanting answers he did not want to give; he was a jealous man
Kammamuri vocal as Yanez, pleading with Sandokan to stop this quest
He kept moving forward, catching a steamer turned toward Labuan

Marianne was the most beautiful woman Sandokan had ever seen.
She was daring and clever, nothing like her diabolical uncle.
Their hideout was the Island of Mompracem, referred to by pirates
Under the name The Tigers of Malaysia. Their adventures were many.

Good story, Caren, enjoyed reading. I wouldn't mine catching a steamer myself from so much isolation. Happy New Year my friend. Hugs Eve

Thank you Eve. Happy New Year. I am so tired of sheltering in place! Nice to "see" you.
