Not You
Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me what "not you" after the question mark and before the exclamation mark refers to? Does it mean " You don't say that"? Or does it mean "You don't join those men."?
"Silver", said the other man, "you're old, and you're honest, you've got money, too, and you're brave. And you're telling me you'd join those men? Not you! I'd prefer to lose my hand than turn against my duty." Source: treasure island, episode: 5, chapter: The first shot
Regards,
JA
