Hi,
The quote is from the book "Treasure Island".
Silver is talking about how scary he is. I did not understand here "proud". I take proud as
"pleased or satisfied, as with oneself, one's possessions, achievements".
But I did not get the connection how one is proud of someone of whom he also feared.
Thanks
There was some that was feared of Pew, and some that was feared of Flint; but Flint his own self was feared of me. Feared he was, and proud.
